GEARBOX need answers lol

So I have a 9n3 gti and it decided to take a wee trip into a park when brought to the garage thought it was just surface damage but turns out it’s quite a bit more lol

The gear box is cracked and leaking at the gearbox mount under the battery

I want to know is it worth stripping the box and repairing the crack as in weld it mabie even Plate it to reinforce the mount

Is there other gearbox’s that are a straight fit onto the polo gti as in the golf or ibiza 1.8t or anything

Any help or ideas is welcomed with open arms as it will stop me even thinking of getting rid of the car

Not exactly the font of all knowledge where the gearbox is involved but spotted this on eBay (literally the only 9N3 GTI gearbox listed!): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114209418149

Best of luck to you mate - check out some polo groups on Facebook and put the question to them also, it’s surprising what some people have knocking about in their garage!

Cheers for the reply went on Facebook and found one breaking so got a box and a few other bits for a really good price so the re build begins
