Default Boom....There goes 3rd gear!!

Well after a little hack around my local D-limit roads last night I've managed to strip 3rd gear, which now sounds like its bouncing around in my gearbox
Now happy to say the least, as I was supposed to be taking it to Nuremburg next month. So suppose its question time now folks.

What options do I have open to me?? Does anyone know how much a 2nd hand gearbox is, or how much it'll cost to replace the gear???

If it helps I'm located Nr Portsmouth and the Engine is an EJ25 in a '95 WRX.

If only I could blame someone else for all this!!! Grrrrrr.......

Cheers in advance

Mark

depends if you want it reliable in the future.
Do it once and do it right.
Personally I'd be fitting a six speed box, but you could put in an uprated gearkit.
Similar prices either way.

Go for 6 speed or ppg box expensive but worth it.
