It all depends on driving style. If you change the fluid regularaly, shift well, don't miss gears, always use the clutch, and properly match revs, a tranny should last a long time. There is no "lifespan" per se for a KA tranny. I'm sure there are some out there with over 200k...but then others that can blow up a rebuilt one the first weekend at the track.
Just nab Jed's for $100, and take it apart yourself. It's all spelled out in the FSM. Then just get new synchros and if the gears are worn, get those too. Put it all back together and pop it in the car. Then take the old one out, rebuild it too, and sell it for a profit. You'll probably get a new tranny for $free.99.
