Another thing you could do is add the overdrive unit from the earlier
transmission to your existing transmission. You need to replace your
mainshaft, or have your existing mainshaft converted to OD spec, to
power the overdrive.
Then you'd have overdrive and four synchros!
See Overdrive Repair Services in the UK; I don't know if anyone else
offers such a service or not. http://www.overdrive-repairs.co.uk/
