manual transmission interchange

My 5 spd transmission in my 96 maxima is making some pretty bad noises in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We think it's a chipped tooth on the main shaft gear. Makes a loud growling noise.

My question is will a 5 spd manual out of a 90 maxima interchange with my 96 maxima? I have the 5spd out of last car the was bad when I bought the car. I was thinking of taking both 5spds and making one out of two.
