gear problem with manual Impreza transmission

After several days of desert dirt road driving the 3d gear of my
manual impreza transmission strated having problems shifting: I always
get a grinding noise when I stick the 3d in. Two separate mechanics
say it's the 3d gear synchronizer and that the whole transmission
needs to be rebuilt, with quotes above $3K? I did not expect that
much, is it what it costs for Subarus? Can I just keep driving until
the car dies (it got 120K). I found that if I bring the RPMs as low as
possible I can shift the 3d fine, but this creates a delay in the
shifting.
