Re: Won't go into 3rd gear
Does it work if you double clutch it?
the syncro may have gotten trashed.
All the other gears work?

Does 4th work ok? You need to try to get it into 3rd at the trans side of the shift linkage. Maybe he just bent or broke something related to the shifter
In my experience replacing the trans is usually the way to go when I break something. Recommend finding a less angry boyfriend or one smart enough to fix what he breaks.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: Won't go into 3rd gear
You might want to rethink some of your life choices. His anger management problems just cost you a transmission, and it's likely to cost you far more than just car repairs as his problem becomes your life
Trans probably will need to be rebuilt/repaired/replaced to fix it.
its a manual and a 96
