Marc,
There's nothing especially "weak" about the late ('91>) C900 five speed gearbox. The 1-2 and 3-4 shift forks are thinner and the the 1-2 fork is pinned to it's shaft which moves rather than the fork moving on the shaft. I don't see how that improved anything over the earlier set-up but doesn't seem to cause problems either. I've seen many of those with the clip that secures the fork to the shaft missing but the fork does what it's suppose to regardless. The operative logic in considering rebuilding vs installing a used unit is that the labor for the removal and installation is big and with the used unit you have an unknown potential of having to do it again in short order. A properly rebuilt five speed will usually go around 150,000 miles before needing new bearings again.
