That's a very open question can you be more specific. All S3's have synchromesh gearboxes.

I bought one of their slickshift kits last year. Nice product, can't comment on their rebuild services though

As far as I can tell its the same as this kit http://www.shop4autoparts.net/parts/gearbox/lt76mbk-o-haul-kit-lt76-main-box/ just a little more expensive. I brought the shop4autoparts kit, comes with branded bearings, I'm guessing that all the other parts a sourced for the same manufactures.

They are a mix of brands, mine were typically RHP, KSM and Koyo. The main shaft bearings are a selected tolerance rather than just standard bearings.

Yeah I had them rebuild my whole unit. Did a great job. Even when I put it back in the truck and found out it was jumping out of gear and leaking a little, the guy was more than happy for me to drive it up for him to tinker on and sorted the issue there and then
