I am giving you an answer because no one else has. No idea for S.A. as I am from Melb. I have no idea how handy you are but I would check the nuts on the shift levers on the r/h side of the gearbox first. Have you considered o/hauling it yourself? Bearing kits are cheap but not sure about the synchro rings. They are not a hard box to do, only thing is you might have to take the imput shaft to a workshop to have the front bearing pressed off and the new one fitted. If you have a manual, have a read.
Good luck!

there is a place on churchill road at killburn that does manuals.
Been there before for parts and the guy was pretty reasonable.
Think its called qualmann transmissions?
You'll have to check the phone book for a number and an address
hope that helps Damo

Why do you say the synchro on second is gone - and what type of box is it. The M20s and M21s have a habit of chewing the circlip on the mainshaft that holds the 1/2 synchro mechanism in place, once it gets chewed the mainshaft starts to get chewed up - can be a little pricey to rectify.

Yep, I've dealt with this guy as well, he definately knows his stuff, he even managed to get my crusty toploader shifting nicely!
