Perhaps your clutch adjustment was not satisfactory. My 3rd gear was crunching for a while recently, and after a couple of adjustment attempts, it went away completely. (My car 95-900SE - 101k miles.) It now shifts as smoothly as one could hope for.
My cable adjustment procedure consists of sliding my foot to the left off the clutch pedal so that the clutch "pops" from depressed to the engaged (driving) position. I've done it with the engine running and the tranny in neutral, but it probably would work just as well with the engine off. This has worked for me.
I don't know how your car has been driven over its life, but 127,000 km is not excessive. I'd try additional clutch adjustmet before I considered rebuilding the tranny.
