Not a bad idea. You need to find a mechanic with a lot of
transmission experience and a good imagination. This sounds like a
shifting mechanism problem rather than a gear problem, but the fact
that there's not too much damage to expensive parts doesn't help all
that much when so much disassembly is needed to fix the problem.
Those prices sound OK; a friend paid $3500 for a used 5-speed
transmission a few years ago after he exploded the differential
on the transmission in his Turbo.
