yes there is a kit avalible from a place called gear tech. By the time a mechanic pulls out the gearbox and strips it down and replaces the parts, reassembles and refits it to the vehicle. You will spend that $2000 and some. Unless you are doing it yourself!

Have you got a quote from these guys in Auckland! They rebuilt my L200 sport for 6 hundy. Just chucked it in the boot of the car, dropped it off on a Thurs morning and got it back on Fri lunchtime. Great service. http://gearboxes.co.nz/index.html

Broken 5th gear spacer. Ball drops out, circulates a few rimes without hitting anything, then, bang, ball gets picked up and through the gears. Fix it now. Cheaper to do now, than spend 2k on a rebuild.
