Does the gearbox have any problems now ?
If not, then an oil change to look a what's in there (presuming it's seperate lubrication? ) and check through for specular particle etc would be worthwhile prior to the general restore. Could be fine without strip and attention, with dedicated gearboxes unlikely to be compromised if lubrication has been OK through life.
If it's EP oil spec in there, my "favourite" oil is Motul EP 75w80 if that's in compatible range from specification.
