Default Transmission blowout

So I was riding the other day on my 85 FXSB lowrider when I was trying to switch from 3rd to 4th gear (stock 4 speed tranny) when it wouldn't go in. I tried again, then again, then BAM SSSSSSCCCCCRRRRRAAARGGG dumping transmission fluid down the road. Luckily I was able to pull over to the side without laying it down. Turns out the trans exploded on me and even broke the casing. I don't have the money for a new one, I am just asking if anyone might have a good used one? I want to keep it stock if possible, so would rather not go with anything but a 4 speed, but if I have too, I guess I will. It is probably that or I might have to get rid of the bike. I DON'T WANT TO.

Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Thanks for any info.

Bummer, got piles of 5 speeds, no 4's.
That's a decent price on the 4 speed.

PM me or something, got a friend that has a 93 case and trap door but no guts. We are updating an earlier model FXR and could use a good gearset and maybe some other stuff like a clutch basket etc.
