FM55 505 9-3 trans in a '97 900SE?

Financial aid is coming in two weeks, that means I finally get to repair or replace my transmission. Here's where I stand, manual transmissions from '94-'98 turbo models are expensive and somewhat hard to find. I can get an F55 505 from a '99 9-3 easily for $400. Judging by pictures of the newer transmission, the hydraulic clutch hardware is the only thing that appears to be different, but the case is equipped to accept my manual clutch hardware. I might still just get my transmission fixed if I can do so for under $400. My question though is; is there anything about the 505 transmission that would prevent me from using it without having to spend extra money on things to make it work properly? If I incur extra costs by trying to use the newer transmission, I might as well just have mine fixed whatever the cost is (which I would most likely do eventually anyway). Any insight on the transmission compatibility would be appreciated. Thanks.
