R7me gearbox inspection and rebuild was created by Darcher

I have a Jimny R7ME 5speed box that I need to inspect and possibly rebuild. It came out a 70k miles car, allegedly all fine and dandy. I want to inspect it internally with a view to replacing bearings etc.
where can I get a service manual for this box. Does anyone have one they can email?
many thanks
David

It is covered in the workshop manual.
The Suzuki part number is 99500-81 A02-01E, it is copyright to Suzuki and we can't distribute it or link to it.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Having rebuilt a few gearboxes, I wouldn’t bother with it on this model unless the oil is sparkly from metal shavings or the bearings make alot of noise.
I Wouldn’t even inspect the insides at this milage unless the above symptoms.
