Default is the dohc 4x4 gearbox the same as the cos 4x4?

I blew both my gearboxes last week and need another one quick a m8 has a 2.0 dohc one and were are not sure if they are the same, there is a hunch that the clutch arm is different but as I run a hydraulic clutch I would be using my own anyway.

Anyone got any ideas?

as above fit fine just change clutch arm, infact there be better than buying a cossie box becuase they wouldnt of had the abuse or power going through so may last a bit longer
and you can pick them up cheaper
