The gearbox on my '94 9000 Aero has a non-repairable cracked casing so I need a new one. The question is do I have to use one specifically from an Aero or are there other models it can come from (e.g. a 2.3 FPT) and if so, what years can it come from (or even better, part numbers !)

Thanks

This question has been answered here I think...

No idea why it cracked (possibly God getting revenge for several years of sinful living), proving quite hard to find a replacement (except for a new one from saab, which would cost about a bazillion quid....), but still, I am determined that this will not be the death of the car.

Also, taking from the other post which was about gearboxes:

"Version 4:
GM75701
'93 CST, CSET and Aero
3.61:1 final drive with *needle bearings* behind spider gears
Front dipstick for level checking and filling.
Large inner driver.

Version 5:
FM751xx
'94 CST, CSET and Aero
3.61:1 final drive with *needle bearings* behind spider gears
Reverse-gear synchro, and revised synchro and selector function throughout.
Fill plug, level plug, drain plug, no dipstick.
Large inner driver.

Version 6:
FM751xx
'95-'98 CSET and Aero
3.61:1 final drive with bushings behind spider gears
Reverse-gear synchro, and revised synchro and selector function throughout.
Fill plug, level plug, drain plug, no dipstick.
Large inner driver. "

According to this I would need the 'Version 5' 'box but can anyone tell me if I can get away with using either 'version 4' or 'version 6' on my car or will they not fit (just so I can widen the search for what parts will do) ?

Car is a '94 9000 Aero.

Thanks

Perhaps there is also Version 7, it is similar with Version 6, but final drive ratio is 4,05.
No idea about inner driver.

I have '97 9000 cse 2,0lpt, and i=4,05 is on type plate on gearbox
