yes there is a company on ebay which offer the bearings for around £105 delivered. The only issue is a good synchro set. I have a spare be1 1.6 gti gearbox I am wanting £25 for if it interests you.

Depends on the age of the box, various types of BE1, BE1 box's should be dirt cheap so much so 95% of the ones I get in are scrapped

would fit a be3 but none seem to be for sale and not cheap.

As you no doubt know, buying a box is a gamble unless you see it stripped, Allot of BE box's on 205's are Derv ones being supplied from Scrap yards in the day so people just say a 205 GTi box for sale so you cannot really hold it against them

Does anyone on here nowadays refurbish BE1 boxes? I have my original box which i would like to have rebuilt if possible, it has become a bit tricky to get into 2nd and 3rd. Sorry to butt in on you post juttie205

You can only do the BE1's to a degree, It depends on the type as they used various configs over the years, 1&2 share the same hub as does 3&4 with 5th being the odd one out,
