Mate i wouldn't go rushing into looking at replacing the gear box straight up... it could be a plethra of problem that could cause an unsmooth gear changes depending on alot of aspects, anyway take it to a automotive joint and just ask them to check it out and get a quote! Cost you nothing aswell! take it to a few places to compare, most places will look at it for free and give you a rough idea how much it will set you back!

85,000kms doesn't sound much, but you should have changed your transmission fluid at least twice in this period, especially if you have been towing. Towing anything increases the load on the transmission, this in turn means the auto fluid runs at a higher than normal temperature, therefore it requires more frequent servicing. It is also advisable, if you do a lot of towing to fit a transmission oil cooler to help lower transmission oil temperature.
