Default Upgrades to a 6 speed manual??

The other day i snapped/stripped 6th gear in my truck.. i was wondering if there are any real worthwhile upgrades to do to this thing.. or is it just gonna keep breaking on me?? I can't afford a full build but maybe some cheap tricks or something??

They dont make the NV5600 anymore and stock parts are scarce, and I highly doubt your going to find aftermarket ones unless you have them custom made.
