I am getting a bit older and have less time available for 'fun' stuff like rebuilding engines and transmissions. If I have to go through the effort of putting a transmission in, I'd want to be damn sure that it is 'right' I'd opt for an Eriksson rebuilt unit. What happens is that the pinion bearing goes out. It also supports the drivewn shaft. As the bearing wears, it allows misalignment and accelerated wear on other gears as well. You may find out after removing yours and tearing it apart that you have a very nice boat anchor.
A used unit would be a possibility if I could look at the car and possibly peer in the rear diff cover to see what it looks like. If you find a NA 89+ car in a junkyard (stronger pinion bearing (89-93) + only 128HP in teh NA give the tranny an easier life), swap over your primary gears and you would probably be good to go for another 100k or more. There is/was a decent '89 base 5sp in a junkyard near me that was hit hard in the rear at 120kmi or so (for example). I'd probably use it if I needed one. I think it has already been crushed, though. I do not think I'd take one that I could not look at the car first, though. YMMV $0.02 good luck!
