Thanks. I'll try to check what the inside parts look like. I didn't even realize that I have inspection plate inside the car...

I did test drive yesterday and noticed another gearbox related issue. If I pull lout the lock out switch the gearbox becomes a lot more noisy. I guess the noise comes from the engine braking through the gearbox. With the lock out pulled it was noisy with the 1st and 3rd gear too. This doesn't promise very good thing for the condition of the other gears too.

Actually getting the box from TX migth be actually pretty cheap. My car was shipped from Houston to Finland by Finnish operated company that provides also other shipping services. The shipping costs are calculated by the packages outer dimensions so heavy weight isn't an issue.
