This is a very common problem with 2nd gens, specifically the NAs. For some reason, the TIIs are a little better (odd, because they use the same syncros as I recall). It might be hard to find a used transmission that doesn't have the same problem unless it is a low mileage unit. The annoying thing is that you won't know you got another bad one until it is installed.
Transmission rebuilds are not always as expensive as people think. I recently paid $600 Canadian to have mine rebuilt, an that included both a new input shaft and cluster shaft, as well as the syncros and seals all around.
