When you get the prices for parts you might decide to get a good used one and rent a movie for entertainment.

I have an older 240d tranny that I replaced because of grinding gears and when I had my favorite machinist tear it down to see what went wrong he found nothing. We decided it was the shifter. It has been sitting in the corner of my garage for about 15 years. I think it has less than 150K miles on it.

I will sell it for parts for $25 plus shipping.

tw is probably right- you are better off looking for another used one. I still see plenty of them pass by in the junkyards around here. You will find the older, cast iron one is more common and used on several earlier gassers.

What oil are you using in it? Perhaps if you switch to something like Redline MTL you might keep the synchros happier.
