I'm pretty impressed at the 52kg weight for the gearbox & clutch assembly. That's just under 115 lbs.
Whats that compared to the MTX-75?
I wish I had a gearbox like that. Most affordable passenger cars don't get the good stuff. 
MTX-75 is a very lightweight trans as well, I would guess it is similar in weight. It also uses a compact 3-shaft design. Other than the differential it is a very tough transmission, smooth shifting, etc. It suffers from less problems then transmissions from some other companies believe it or not. The 3rd gear syncho issues are mainly from the type of cheap lubricant that was originally used, i.e. straight ATF versus the better fluids.
