3rd gear syncro gettin bad...what should i do?

the syncro has been goin out for a while and my wife took it to the shop while i was at work the other day, they said it would cost a lot of money to fix it and confirmed it was the syncro. The owner of the shop said i should probably just get a new tranny because of how much it will cost just to fix it? Is it just the shop charging so much or is this normal? also what would yall do?

I paid 1100 to get mine fixed back in 2003. This was with me taking the trans out and putting it back in the car. The second time it happened I decided to put a tko600 in the car. I would put a t56, tko600 or a rebuilt 3650 in it before I would pay someone to rebuild a stocker.

What year is your car? Also what mods do you have?
