At present I don't know what the kit contains - bit of a gamble but it might come good.
Probably will have the middle gaskets also, o rings, and side seals where applicable. That price beats the 96 bucks I paid for two shaft neals, 3 gaskets, some o rings and a few other incidentals.

The second time I took apart my 411 to fix a synchro spring (which reminds me, those fit specifically into the synchro a certain way even though its a simple steel wire component, if you don't put them back right the spring will be chewed to bits in a couple shifts and you'll have trouble shifting for that gear) , I just used rtv gray instead of gaskets, and o rings from the local parts store, which worked well also

The spring I goofed up was I belive for 4th gear synchro, right where the input and output shaft join. The spring is pretty basic, but I think it has a little hook on one end, and that hooks around a boss on the brass synchro, I wish I had a pic, but it should be self explanatory as you look at it. Anyway, if its not held in place by this feature and can rotate, it gets chewed up pretty fast
