9-3 tranny swap from hell

Well, I have to put my frustration down somewhere and so here it is... 18 months ago, I was told by my mechanic that my '99 9-3 had a failed output(drive) shaft failing on the gearbox and that I should replace the whole thing. Alarmed and consulted by my trusty mechanic, I quickly went out and bought a slightly used tranny/gearbox to replace the broken one... The fiasco insuing from this purchase has only snowballed both financially and emotionally since I was screwed on the shipping charges with no recourse to be had and was sent a gearbox for a 9-5 instead of the 9-3. With no way to ship back to the salvage yard it came from, I'm stuck with a case that doesn't fit but the one saving grace I may possibly have here is that the internals may or may not fit my old case. My mechanic I'm sure is licking his chops over the labor charges I'm going to be hit up for this, but at this point, I'm wondering if anybody here has had any type of experience with replacing a clutch/gearbox for a NG 900 or '99 9-3 of if anyone knows about how well the internals of the gearbox would match up between the two models. Thanks for reading and/or responses.
