The brake band can be re-lined. There probably is a brake shop in your area that can remove the old lining and install new.
Edit: Can you post a close up of the split area on the brake drum? That looks really clean to be a crack. It may be either from manufacturing when new or an old repair.

That may be the same brake drum as the 4 speed in your originally had. I have several for the 4 speed. If you pull that one off the transmission, we can compare measurements to see if they are the same.

I believe you can get the lining from McMaster-Carr. Measure the diameter, width and the depth from the back to the transmission mounting surface. I can compare that with a 4-speed drum.

90W gear oil. The multi viscosity 85-140W oils would be fine. I don't think that there are any yellow metals in either transmission, but to be safe, use an oil with a MT-1 rating along with the GL-4 or GL-5 rating. Some GL-5 oils do not have the MT-1 rating for manual transmissions.

Hey quick question that has been floating around in my head.
If I have a synchronized transmission in front of the brownie or some other non synchronized auxiliary transmission, Do I need to double clutch when shifting the syncro'd tranny too? I.E. I am in say 2nd gear in the brownie and in 3rd gear in the primary tranny and want to shift to 4th, do I need to shift both back to neutral, the brownie back to 2nd and the primary into 4th. Or would operation be the same as driving a regular syncro tranny and I wouldn't worry about double clutching until I changed gears in the brownie.
Hope I presented that Ok.
Thanks
Devin

Those are double under transmissions. They have 2 underdrive ratios instead of under and over.
