Post RIP 5th gear synchro, you served me well.

So after at least 4500+ track miles and a total of 68k miles my 5th gear synchro finally gave out. Was a NJMP Thunderbolt yesterday for a track weekend when at the end of the 3rd or 4 session I could no longer get 5th or 6th gear. I was debating to keep going today since I only use 5th for a bout 10sec on the straightaway but I didn't was to stress the car more and go for the rest of the weekend when I could still get credit for a future event.

Anyway, now I am on the hunt for a '16+ transmission, I think those are made better then the earlier ones? What's the going rate for a used one with about the same milage or less, eBay seems to show around 1.6k. but alot of dealer websites show around 1.9k new?
