Upgrading gearbox from TY752 to TY754
Hi all,
Apologies for asking a question that's been asked to death - I've trawled through the posts but can't find a solid answer, so I'm hoping someone here can help!
Firstly, my Turbo 2000's gearbox has gone pop! It started with a loud metallic clunking when engaging third gear (all other gears were ok) then one day it went bang when I was in third, and now all gears feel compromised.
Managed to roll the car back to my place which was lucky, but now I reckon I need a new box.
The unit I've got is a TY752VN6AA which is a UKDM gearbox, and I've read all sorts of things about them being weak and not up to scratch etc etc, but also that the TY754... series is much better.
I've also read from some people it's a direct swap, and for others that the head needs drilling, axles need replacing and all sorts of things, so I'd really like to know for sure what the case is!
I've spoken to a local garage who are keen to replace the unit, but I'd really like to know what I'd be getting myself in for if I got a TY754 unit (with the same ratio) and gave that to them to fit.
Cheers in advance all! Oh, and if anyone has a box for sale please let me know!

Cheers for that, I know they all have the same gear ratio but I've heard the mounting to the engine is different and not like for like, is that true?
