No 3rd gear in AW 55-50SN gearbox 2003 S60 T5

The car had the old radiator oil cooler failure which has been replaced a while ago the gearbox was also flushed and appeared to be okay for a while now when you drive it it shifts well from 1st to 2nd and then 3rd the revs just go up if you put it into the tiptronic and select from 3rd to 4th it gets 4th and then 5th but as soon as you select or the box selects 3rd it just revs is it repairable or is it the case of a good second hand auto box as the rebuild will probably make it beyond economical repair

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as its a nice car

Thanks Andy
