Im understandably leery of the bolt kit. I had it installed by a LA area
tranny god who seemingly overtorqued at least one bolt which, sheered
somehow. Hopefully whoever does the work can do it without problems.

Id just buy ALL NEW syncros, bearings, clips and seals and deliver the
entire thing to the shop. Your gonna have it rebuilt, why not have all
new (wear) parts installed and know it will last you for quite a long
time. 
Thats how I would do it if I were persuing this project. Do it right and
do it only once.
