If I was to think the problem was only synchros, I would open it and change the synchros along with one or another bad bearing. Synchros are cheap, and the gasket kit too.

I've rebuilt mine with 2 synchros (1st and 2nd gear) and 1 bearing. No more than 150€ were spent (including the 80€ bearing). At that time I wasn't in "Do It Yourself mode" so I spent 150€ in the mechanic. Later I did it myself to a friend's gearbox and mine again, since one of the hub sleeves knocked its teeth off.

It is somewhat easy to do if you pay attention to the manual and have a press nearby. No other special tools or skills are necessary.

The most expensive things around rebuilding a mildly used gearbox are bearings and mechanic work hours. If you can eliminate this second cost, you'll do it cheap.

Good Luck and best regards
