You blew up a G52 by the sounds of it, and they are weak as.. The 2.8 diesel and the petrol models of your year had the same box.

Id suggest swapping back to an auto or doing an R series box conversion. (R151-150)

You can send the bell housing away to dellow or castle main rod shop and have the bellhousing re-drilled so the new holes line up with the face of the R series box.
