I'm actually past this point, and on the verge of reassembling it. I may have to replace a few gears that were damaged, and will definitely replace the bearings/seals, but the synchros all seem to be in good shape. As far as checking the bearing preload, I have access to a few different precision torque wrenches/watches, so that should only be a minor pain to set.

Oh, when I was pulling apart the bell housing and gearbox, I dinged the inside of the outer bearing sleeves (where the bearing between 4th and 5th goes) on the shaft splines. I can probably polish it down with a mild abrasive disc on a die grinder, but I'm concerned that it could have disastrous results, i.e. a spun bearing. Are those bearings supposed to have enough clearance to be able to spin the outer race by hand when mounted in the gearbox?
