evo3 gearbox replacement

Hi all,
My evo3 gearbox was damaged and the workshop guy help me bought one from halfcut to replace the faulty one. Now my car is running fine, but upon checking i noticed my gearbox code is different from previous one. It written there W5M312RRTE which is not come from evo3 model one.

1) I not sure what kind of gearbox am i using now. I did tried googling the code seem like belong to mitsubishi liberno(i guess). Do appreciate if someone may tell me what gearbox is it.

2) what is the impact to my car if using other model mitsubishi car gearbox, will this gearbox ruin my engine? quite worries...lolx.

Plz share your thought, tks in adv..

it seems to be from a mitsubishi libero, basically a wagon lancer with a 4g15. It might fail if it wasn't designed to take the torque from your turbocharged 4g63. But Seems to bolt up and work fine otherwise.

If it is from a libero it will likely be the GT spec gearbox, it's a 4G93T (1.8 turbo) AWD wagon. There are AWD Liberos that don't have turbo but I would really hope they didn't use a non turbo gearbox for your car. I found a link, it looks useful but I can't view it properly on my phone.

Edit: The libero gearbox is not the same as the EVO 3 box, even the turbo spec box is not as strong as the EVO one.
