The shift kits are pretty inexpensive but you will need it profressionally installed since there are a lot of different springs and spacers. I think you can get a shift kit for about 75 dollars whether its a 1G or a 2G turbo. I am not sure about N/A Tauni.

You can get the Alto end clutch kit for around 125 and the stall for about 475. So basically for under 600 you can have a pretty bullet proof drivetrain setup on a DSM. Might not be as fun on the street but its not fun pulling fucking trannies every weekend because of busted shit either. Synchro trannies are nice when they are in good condition but grind them gears a few times and its all down hill from there. Eventually they don't go into gear very good and then you start breaking shift rails and forks. Unless you have a fully built shep tranny like JET and some others a 5 speed is not all that dependable on a high HP DSM that shifts above 8500.
