Gearbox noise and other things.

I have a 9-5 Aero estate MY04 110k miles with Abbotts stage 2, 3" exhaust etc... I have a whine that seems to be engine speed related and appears to come from the gearbox. Would a secondhand gearbox suffice or should I go for a rebuild at twice the cost.
Also, should you replace the clutch at this time whilst the gearbox is out, given the 110k mileage.
I use the car mostly for long haul motorway runs from England down to mid France, usually well loaded. I am not planning to change the car for some time.
Does anybody have experience of the short throw gearshift?
Any answers appreciated, this is my 7th SAAB, long may they live...
