Then inspecting the 3-4 steel shifter fork, shift assembly for wear, then hope 5th gear isn't toast.
Yep.......it won't be cheap......but this tranny IS worth saving!!!!!!!!!

I just walked a buddy thru a tranny, he'd never opened one before.
stop and ask questions before you mess it up.
he had the input shaft bearing thrust washer backwards alng with the reverse idler gear.
D's = ^
B's = v

ALWAYS replace the ISB when I'm working on someone else's tranny.
The rest I inspect, all TWELVE of them.
Depends on the condition of the tranny when I open it. Nice and clean, typical amount of metal syrup on the magnetics, I just replace the ISB and seal then seal it back up.
If it's been burnt from running low on fluid, or wrong fluid like gear oil, I've been known to junk a tranny because it's not worth fixing.
LSD install for example, your replacing three of the seven large bearings.

Could you not find another trans at a junker, take it apart and get the gears out of it and then swap them into yours? You'd also have some spare parts just in case something else happens again? Could be a route to go.
