2002 wrx 3rd gear gone

I was out last sunday for a spirited drive and on overtaking on a A road the gearbox went bang and i have no 3rd gear. The car was only driven about 5 miles home carefully using 2nd and 4th although 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th are fine.
I know when replacing 3rd gear you have to do 3rd and 4th...Anyone know where to get these from? Anyone do just 3rd and 4th second hand?
Or would it be better to just replce the box like for like?
Best place to get one from etc?

Numbers of box's compatable

The strip down and rebuild & new parts costs may make a 2nd hand one attractive IMHO

This is what i'm thinking but i'm worried about second hand box as to its life etc whether when it was taken off, maybe dropped etc

Need to get it back by christmas so no rush suppose i need to wait for the right one then

See you at the ring next year lol
