Gabriel,
I do my own maintenance but here's my two cents worth... I hooked up one of 
my fellow club members with a used gearbox for $250.00. He had a couple of 
the other club members install the unit. I think it was beer and pizza then a 
steak dinner when all was finished. 
Assuming the gearbox has never been done before you will need as a minimum 3 
Synchro Rings ($25.00ea.), 1 Synchro Sleeve ($68.00), the front seal ($4.50), 
the rear seal ($5.75), a clutch kit ($185.00) and a pilot bushing ($7.00). 
$345.25 worth of parts. The tranny has to come out and a knowledgeable Alfa 
person has to look and see if a minor rebuild will fix all internal problems 
in the gearbox. I would suggest the local club members to recommend a good 
mechanic but I would guess parts and labor would total about $1000.00 -- 
$1200.00. 
Hope this helped
Thomas Gonnella
