Yes it's a BE3 gearbox, though there are identifying codes on the boxes as well. I'm not sure what the code is but it's just under the clutch arm if you check your own 'box.
As for changing it, its pretty simple, but a bit time consuming, and awkward if you do it alone. I'd also recommend changing the clutch kit at the same time as its only an extra 6 bolts.
Basically remove battery and tray, airbox, starter motor, wiring plugs, driveshafts, gear linkages, clutch cable and anything else in the way. The 'box is held to the block with 5 bolts, 3 accessable from the front and 2 back. Remove gearbox mount and pull the box away from the block. It is heavy though. Refitting is just a reverse of removal.
