Syncro is dying on my AW11 that has a GT4 gearbox

I have an Aus delivered AW11 that has an E50(F) gearbox. The cheapest rebuild I can find is http://www.drivetrain.com/parts_catalog/manual_transmission_overhaul_kits/toyota_4_5_and_6_speed_overhaul_kit.html#E50 which works out to about $1500 plus labor. KAAZ Close Ratio Gear Set for £2,640.00 would be nice but is worth more than the car.
I am wondering if there is a better solution. Different gearbox maybe. 
 
It's worth saving . Here's the Reddit post from 4 years ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/mr2/comments/1twmyq/my_guy_has_just_restored_his_1987_mr2_aw11_and/?st=jcpj2huf&sh=dd769610 and still beautiful for her 30th last November. 
 
Thanks
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

You can buy syncros, usually cheapest out of Toyota UAE warehouse, through partsouq or megazip or Amayama.

I can only speak with limited knowledge of the e153. Challenge / cost is not just syncro but actually rebuilding the gearbox, snap rings, bolts, bearings and other things, then plus labor.

Sometimes fixes on gearboxes can be as simple as changing oil, changing the consumable parts like bushings. Best of luck,

Partsouq is awesome. Thanks
 
Only 3rd is dying and I can double it if I get it just right. I will check the oil but I'm pretty sure it's the syncro.

It's an agze supercharged engine. Sorry for my Frankenstein car. It looks pretty on the outside :) Maybe I sure use a more descriptive tag.

Okay, now we are starting to see more of a picture.
You really need to identify the gearbox correctly, because the AW11 4AGZE used an E51, the AE101 Corolla 4AGZE used an E58. While it is possible that you could have the E50F gearset swapped in, it's not good guessing till you know which it is, otherwise you might end up ordering parts that do not fit.
