Default New Tranny or Rebuild??

The tranny in my 97' Civic EX is gone, it comes out of gear in 2nd and 3rd under normal driving conditions. Synchros are definitly shot... Do I rebuild my transmission or buy a used one? Does anyone have experience in this area? Thanks

BTW: 5 spd

These trannys are pretty cheap.... id prolly go out and buy another one and save the one u have with the bad synchros and eventually build it with a quaife.
