A brand new upgraded shaft and gear will cost around $350 from Nissan. Add bearings, synchro's etc.
A complete late model used box is around $500-$1500, depending where you buy.
A reco box will set you back $2000.
A brand new complete box can be had for around $2600.

It's not an issue that's worth worrying about really.....

Ok.  I couldn't seem to find prices like that at the time.  Will go down that path if and when she goes again.  It worked at the time.  Only out of action over a weekend with a lot of help from a good mate.

You're back on the road, and only cost a bit of time and effort.
Hope you gave your mate a beer or two... ;D ;D

For future reference...
