Does the trans leak fluid?

If it is mechanical damage to the trans, you'll probably be looking at $250-$350 in parts to fix it 100% plus labor which varies from place to place. B16 transmission go for at least $400, if you can find one.

Then it probably is damage to the physical components.

Could be a synchro spring missing and it'll be under $10. Or it could be gear, sleeve, hub, shift fork, etc. leading to $300+ all causing it to fall out. No way to tell until it's opened up and you can visually inspect it.

I'd go ahead and have it fixed. A used trans is good shape is getting hard to come by now. If it was low on fluid, the 5/R sleeve assembly and top MS/CS bearings will likely need to be replaced.
