Bennoz where do you get the bearing kits from? I'll eventually have to do a reco, as my gearbox is getting tighter and tighter to put into 2nd, 3rd and reverse. With these bearing kits do they restore the gearbox to perfect condition?

You can order the kit with syncros, but it is signifigantly more expensive, also a hell of a lot more time consuming too as you have to split the clusters down to nothing & completely reassemble. .. and the few I've done like that, I've always ended up needing to replace more than just bearings & syncros. Needed a bunch of little shims & locks rings from Mitsubishi as the old ones were no longer within factory tolerances when reassembled.
Having said all that, being tight to get into gear is not a sign of an internal gearbox problem, its a sign that one of your selector cable is seizing up. Quite a common problem.
Though I might throw a couple of 'ouch page' shots of Judds box up. LOTS of metal floating around thanks to an almost collapsed primary shaft bearing lol. Fortunately the magnets caught most of it
