Default Gearbox nightmares

So I've been through three gearboxes.

First I had my original gearbox, second gear synchro was fooked so I bought an ap2 gearbkx in the uk

Fitted that gearbox and second gear synchro in that was fooked aswell along with the input shaft bearing and was popping out of gear

Next I got he synchros replaced in my original box but now it shifts around in first, is noisy as hell and clunks in reverse

So my question is what is the safest way before I waste anymore money to get a good gearbox - I know buy from Honda but I can't afford to do that so next safest after that.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dillon

Integrastella are highly regarded here, or look in the FS section. There are a couple of cars being broken, you may have some luck there.

Integra stellar is a top top man. His "communication" skills are somewhat... A little... Special. But he knows his stuff and I've always had good engines from him.

Haha sorry I did google him but I though someone might have a better avenue then eBay - he has one for sale for 350 with 60k odd on it which sounds good.

Are his parts guaranteed? Just don't want the same thing to happen to me again

Thanks
