If you can afford it mate reco is always better than repaired. A problem like that isn't generally syncros.
BTW I do remember your "issues" with the box supplied by the "other" fella

Is your clutch pedal adjusted correctly, i.e. 140mm+- 3mm travel to the floor ??

No probs dude - measure from the top of the pedal pad to the factory carpet - if there's any mats, etc, pull them aside when doing this.
It won't cure the jumping out of gear, but should sort out difficult gearchange (if this is happening in most gears). You can slightly adjust to lower/raise the friction point to your liking - don't go overboard, as it will overtravel the pressure plate fingers if adjusted too far. I remember those pics you posted with the clutch fork, etc - I do believe the cause may have been the cable was done up too tight, as it looked the similar to pics that voxace posted. This means the throwout bearing will be very tight up against the pressure plate, it may get hot and seize, meaning it will break the 2 TO fork tangs and spin. Eventually they can shatter. Since both g/boxes were fitted by a former site sponsor, I tend to think it isn't a coinicidence, that both had similar damage.

That's good to hear. You'll probably find that the friction point when adjusted correctly may be a little close to the floor, so you can adjust it up so the gear is completely disengaged when changing.
It's quite normal (from what I've found) that the clutch pedal will sit higher than the brake pedal. Yeah, I suppose put your g/box install down to experience. I stripped my g/box down before fitting it, it wasn't too hard (and I'm no mechanic), so might be an option to DIY.
