Had exactly the same thing happen.
The 3rd gear cog had stripped itself.
Found it far cheaper to get a 2nd hand one(with 6 month warrenty) from one of these 'dial-a-part' places,than a rebuild.
Was £250 delivered.

If you put 'find a part' into google it will come up with loads of companys doing the same thing mate.
Heres one to be getting on with.....Find Car Engines Gearboxes & Parts- Find A Part UK
Do a few of them as there all email or ring you (you choose)and there prices can vary a lot.
I filled in about 5 companys and had about 20 boxs to choose from within the hour,ranging from £150 and nearly a grand...
