i did some research into rebuilding these gearboxes (w58 actually but it's all the same effectivly) i worked for a part wholesaler for a few weeks covering for a guy who was away, and some of my deliveries was to gearbox rebuilders - i asked them if you could get the parts from anywhere else - basically 5th gear synchro is available aftermarket (woo-hoo!!) and some of the bearings you can source (only a couple) the majority of parts has to come from toyota only - and the price you quoted of $1100 is about right i'm afraid
