2007 did not have the same gearbox as any other year. That was the year of the BaneBots 56mm gearbox, which in as-shipped-in-the-kit form was not remotely ready for the task of playing a very physical game like Rack 'N Roll. (Whether they were ready after the fixes that went out was a rather subjective matter that depended on your application.)

You are correct that the Toughbox first entered the kit in 2008. We used SuperShifters that year on 1618, so those sat off to the side.
