She was lucky as a very good friend donated an old box which only needed a new bearing.

I have done a few now, and the last one just toped 200 notes in bits, which was a complete rebuild including the diff, but with a few competition parts thrown in for good measure.
Included new Double roller bearing, Single roller bearing, Nose bearing, 18mm Nose bearing, Layshaft bearing set, Comp. Layshaft, Gasket Set, Primary Seal, Diffseals, Idler bearing, Central oil pickup, Baulkrings, Competition Diff Pin, Planet Gears, Mica Thrust washers, Bronze thrust washers, Diff Bearings.
Using the Minispares kits is good for a standard rebuild, and at the moment the A+ rebuild kit ( inc Diff ) is very competative @ 125 notes. clicky
PM me if you want to discuss.

Shifting up: Do the same, only when you bring the clutch up to the bite, rev the engine a bit.

When upshifting (1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc. ) you briefly release the clutch between gears. In downshifting (4 to 3, 3 to 2, etc. ) you release the clutch between gears, quickly blip the throttle, then push the clutch in and finish your shift. Downshifting is the tricky one. Upshift double clutching is a piece of cake.
What you're trying to do is get the laygear in the gearbox to the right speed for the next gear you're going to select. For example, when downshifting it's necessary to accelerate the laygear so that the next gear down is rotating at the same speed as the output shaft prior to completing the shift.
