Default 54 plate wrx blob-gearbox dead,need help

right,i was on my way to scoobyworld travelling up the m1 @ 70mph in 5th traffic was building so i dropped it into 4th then continued for a while then selected 3rd to overtake a lorry and a horrible fast dry clicking sound has now appeared when de-accelerating,we had it up on the ramps at scoobyworld and the prop/shafts/rear diff/engine all sound fine but the box is making a right whining sound,it drove back fine and selects all gears fine but it sounds horrible,when in 5th dropping the speed from say 60mph it sounds like a tractor

this is my everyday car so need a replacement asap

what boxes can i use?

do i have to use one with the exact same code as mine?

my gearbox code at the minute is TY754VN5AA

Mine destroyed the synchros. I lost a few gears.
Weigh up the extra cost of a six speed it may not be as much as you think
