I need a 2nd hand gearbox for my 1.4 vw polo, what should i be looking for?

Question

I have absolutly no idea on cars.

I have a S reg (1999) VW Polo, 1.4 CL. The gearbox has gone on it so I need to replace it. I have been looking all over for second hand gearboxes but I dont really know what I am looking for.

Does the gearbox have to be from the same year model as my car?

One I have found says the gearbox code is DDH...I'm guessing that mine has to be the same as that in order for it to fit and work?

And lastly, what difference does the valve number make and how would I find out which one I would need? Sorry for sounding dumb but I really am clueless when it comes to cars!

Thanks to anyone that can help!
