Lost first gear in manual transmission. Still have 2nd-5th and reverse. Any ideas?

85+ 1-2-3 Synchros are still available from Porsche (though none in the US, they're coming from Germany). They just start at about $200 each. 4th and 5th gear synchros are $125ish and reverse is ~$100. This was all back in October, no idea what prices or availability are today.

Andre Hedick had a rebuilt 84 tranny for sale at a reasonable price. I was going to buy it but then I went the rebuild my own route. In hindsight, I wish I just bought his...I'm going on 10 months to rebuild mine...

What's the status of your rebuild? Last, you were trying to source needlebearings?
Jadz and I both have 84 5 speeds that are needing attention.
Would love to see some pictures of your project.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but I was able to source some needlebearings in some Porsche shop in the North East. The rebuild is almost done. It will be almost 80% rebuild of the all the internals...This project also gave me a better idea of what to look for when someone says rebuild.
