Getrag..Is it really up to the job??

Hi All

500 miles on the car and it's off the road again, this time the Getrag box seems to have given up the ghost. I seem to be able to select gears when the engine is off but its not easy and like waggling a stick in a bucket. Engine running I can only get third gear and thats a struggle.

Advice required and one or two questions please.

Cause? Any other ideas
Could have been a well worn box in the first place
Possible that I dialed in the bellhousing wrongly knackering the front bearing, however when I fitted the geabox up it slide in so smoothly it took me by suprise.

Questions
1. I am going to take this out on Wednesday, is it worth repairing?
2. Anyone had one refurbed and what likely cost?
3. Anyone driving a getrag like a complete hooligan and getting away with it?
4. Recommended replacement, I assume this would be Tremec?

All input welcome.
Cheers
