I recently replaced the tranny on my 83 900 8v. I was having the same problem as you with third gear and eventually it popped and got stuck. I used a tranny from an 83 900S 8v that I found at a pick your part. Only cost me 40bucks CN. The disadvantage though, had to do all the work to replace it and found that the third gear syncromesh was toast. Now I have to double clutch all the time. I'm a college student so to me this was worth it as I figure I will only have the car a couple more years. If the car was newer and I was richer I'd have got a rebuild. If you go with a used tranny you take a risk.
