Yup; bolts right in.
Might want to adjust it PROPERLY first. Do a search on something like "adjust gearbox" and my username for more details.

Re: gear box question
True dat... but OTOH, they're super eeeeeeeeezy to rebuild, and if they don't leak, even eeeeeeeeeeezier to merely adjust, when off the car; but MUCH harder on the car.
After all, no sense in putting somebody else's 200k miles worth of accumulated slop gearbox onto your car if you can avoid it.
