How long ago was the oil last changed?

Check mountings, if its manual check the gear lever for excessive play etc

I understand that the handbook advices the use of 4WD for towing. There's no reason that using 2WD for towing would cause gearbox failure though.

Do you know that the replacement gearbox was working properly prior to fitment? Have you approached the supplier/fitter of the replacement box?  Equally can you be sure you haven't got some other problem that's affected both gearboxes?

The first step is a complete oil flush with Diaqueen SP111.

Follow the procedure in search, as it's a flush process not just drain and fill.

I'm sure someone like Simon here can pull this up for you.

Can you be sure that they put the Correct fluid in? Have you checked the ATF fluid level when the engine is warm?

This link tells you the correct procedure on how to check the ATF level on the second post!
