Since I have my transmission apart, (18 spline A-833) I will be rebuilding it (sorta), i want to know what should I change, if anything, in this trans to improve its strength?
The synchros all look great, the sliders are the same, it has steel forks in it, and the bearings are tight- so ill be doing a gasket kit.
when i pulled it apart, it was apparent that it has been rebuilt before, and doesn't have a bunch of miles on it.
What should I do? and No i wont be doing the slick shift upgrade

Check for rounding of the dog teeth of on each gear. If they aren't sharp, you'll be grinding when shifting gears.

where every other tooth is removed the the schynro slider, allows easier power shifting

Dremel tool with a cut off wheel, a little patience and it can be done. I've done many. The trans in my car now was done by me last winter.
