Because of target budget of 500 euros to make the car running on road, main parts I need to replace had to be bought from scrap yard. Found few cheap spots, got gearbox for 50euros, half done pressure plate for 10euros, and pretty good condition clutch disk for 15euros. Pretty good deal I would call.
Inspected new/old gearbox, meaning opened the case, apart one strange thing it is in good condition, no metal shavings, no clear visual wear on gears or syncros. Strange thing was oil, in particular some of it was nasty gel, like slime kinds like playing with nowadays. Probably oil had never been changed, like 17 years, haha. Anyhow, good to go.
Started assembly, which is 5 mins work, apart hour or so cleaning the case from outside. And believe me this is one of suckiest things. Cause you get dirty by oil and solvent you use, floor gets dirty, you have to breath smelly air front solvent evaporating. Anyhow, work done.
Put the clutch on, put the gearbox on. Noticed that clutch slave cylinder is leaking, opened ruber dust cover and found lots of dirt, no surprise, to be honest. Ordered repait kit for 3.5euros, which probably will do it cause cylinder walls didn't seem to be too bad. Some polishing to clean and smoothen and should be fine.
Btw, this is how good gears look versus f..ed up ones.
Contact area has original shape, which is kind of edgy.
Not usable anymore below.
Contact area here is rounded and deformed.
Next will repair clutch cylinder and put engine, gearbox components in to start the car.
