Hello all, been too long since I last camped in here My Satria has finally got into a new set of problems which I can share here!
All started when I noticed puddles of oil where I parked. It wasn’t engine oil but gear oil, leakage was near the flywheel so had no choice but to drop the gearbox. As you can see..

supposed to be oil-free but it’s clearly wet

punctured housing, that’s where the leakage was from. Something must have broken!

One of the flywheel nuts were broken, couldn’t find the fragment. With this, it has damaged more parts..

clutch springs have been hit
It all happened so quick that the gears showed no problems of noise and shifting except for the leakage. Car is sitting at my mechanic’s place now. Already bought new clutch set, pumps, drive shafts and some minor parts while we are at it.
With reconditioning the gearbox out of the question, I am left with the biggest problem now - a new used gearbox. My existing gearbox is a Wira 1.8 / Putra / GTI variant with code F5M222VRXE paired to a 4G93. Shopped around chop shops and most only have 1.6 normal variants which is a no go for me. Until now, came across a Mivec LSD unit with code F5M222XRWE and my mind is at the crossroads.
In the case of not being able to source a same 1.8 GB, should I:
1. Reconsider servicing / welding my broken one, slap it on while I continue the search.
OR
2. Get the 1.6 MIVEC one instead. If so, how big is the effect in the drive? I’ve read about the final drive and ratio difference between the 1.8 and MIVEC but I still need advices. The car is mostly driven on highway KL-Ipoh.
