Great find there mate. Just ran a few part numbers through Amayama to see pricing. Not cheap and some if not most parts perhaps not available at all.
I think you have the right idea in seeing how a second hand box will go.
Second hand boxes are the best way to go, the 1984 Tredia box I bought for 150.00 works great in the Cordia. I have another one lined up for 200.00.
I learned how to pop the trans cover off and inspect the gears on the bad trans that I have and found the problem was with the 3/4 shift fork. It is die cast aluminum and was worn so bad that the tab that sits in the shifting sleeve was not square but worn to a point. The reverse idler gear was also FUBAR on the teeth points. To on top of a rebuild kit, I would need a 3/4 shift fork/sleeve, 3rd gear and the reverse idler gear.
If anyone want pics of the box open let me know.
