I know the chinese replacement bulk rings for the rib case are trash out 
of the package. Don't know about the 1500 stuff.
Synthetic lube in the Datsun boxes helps the crunching. I guess Datsuns 
were never meant to be shifted as fast as Spridgets can be shifted and 
my 5 speed was a bit crunchy
in 2nd and 3rd. But it has been fine for many years now with synthetic 
gear lube.
Well when I had it at Summit point race track, even synthetic didn't 
help under those shifting conditions.
