I would have stuck the 2H in there and rebuilt the FN ASAP.  Hit up http://www.brokevw.com/ for parts and expertise. 

My third gear in the FF I have will chirp a bit if I take too long to get it in there from 2nd and will not let me come into it from 4th.  No matter what the speed. 

Still in town goes just fine.  You gotta drive it!  Not just zone out and point it down the road.
