Yeah changed the selector seal, seemed to be ok for a couple of weeks afterwards but now it's leaking worse than ever

Hi, new poster here and would be grateful for a bit of help...Does anyone know if the mk1 and mk2 Arosa (and lupo) use the same gearbox? I imagine they do, but my 1998 mk1 1.0 is leaking oil and I've had the seal replaced but it's still leaking. I'm not mechanically minded but the garage said it's something to do with the gear selector shaft. Anyway, bottom line is I need to find a replacement gearbox and I've found a possible one, but it's from a 2004 1.0 Arosa and I need to know that it will definitely fit my car.
Thanks

Got a second opinion on it from a mechanic who put it up on a ramp for me, it's definitely leaking gearbox oil from the selector shaft. He said that when the garage changed the selector seal they might have knocked the shaft and scored it (can't prove it though!!) as there's now an indent on it where the oil is leaking through. It seems to be leaking worst when in 1st and 3rd. So now I need to find a gearbox to match my car's engine code (AER), has anyone had any experience with the elsaWin software you can get on eBay?
