Default Gearbox Rebuilder

So the gearbox in Suzanna's gc8 is doing its best impersonation of a cement mixer when placed in third.

I'm not keen to buy a second hand box.

Who would you recommend to rebuild this 3.9 aussie box.

I think I would be looking at renewing all syncros and third gear.

PS. *free ribs to gearbox remover/replacer helpers

*except burke, he eats too much.

Third and fourth are a pair. They can be economic to repair if the debris hasn't damaged anything else on the way through. Stop driving it, don't even tow it except on a flat bed.
I have some new genuine Subaru 3/4 gearsets but there are two revisions and a few variations depending on whether it's been apart before and the era of the box.

Gear box will take all of half hour to remove so let me know when the ribs have been cooking for 10 hours

That's about right for a DIY on the ground. Half hour box changes are on cars with no heat shields, quick release exhaust and clutch and 3+ well trained rally mechanics on the job.
