Yes, if the cause of the 3rd gear failure is because of the 3rd gear anchor bolt then this is recoverable and a relatively easy but slightly fiddly fix.

Do a search on here for 3rd gear anchor bolt and hopefully you'll find plenty of info on the subject along with directions on how to repair/recover 3rd gear. Of not then post back here in this thread and I'll find the posts that I know of.
