Front end vibration over 65 MPH

When my 1989 Saab 900 sedan goes over 65 to 65 MPH there is a lot of vibration in 4th gear and overdrive. The car runs fine under that speed and through gears 1 through 3. It goes away in neutral and I checked the front tire's (new)high speed balancing without success. I also had the Cv joints and axle connections checked and they were normal. My mechanic found a missing gear tooth on 4 th gear and a lot of metal filings in the transmission when he probed around with a magnet. He thinks replacing the transmission might fix it. What do you think? Is the transmission replacement a very expensive repair (say over $800?). Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
