When my classic destroyed third gear there was no mistaking that. Although it still went into the gears and would drive (apart from third)it sounded like a blender going full of nuts and washers . All better now but the bank balance is abit poorley.

It's a nightmare I know. It's not cheap but re-con or rebuild your oe gearbox is what I'd recommend so you can atleast get some piece of mind after it's fitted & even possibly a warranty. Goodluck with it
