Yes, the complete Modify gearbox (even the updated version for sale right now on airsoftparts) has trouble fitting in some bodies (G&P for example). It's definitely a nice gearbox with good parts, however, I recommend you explore other options before buying it.
Also, there's no compression or piston problem that you can't solve in whatever gearbox you already have. In fact, the two issues you mention are often intimately related -- when compression is bad, this can easily cause in jams or double feeds, which gradually strips pistons. If you've been going through many pistons, the solution to your problems may be as simple as ensuring your piston's o-ring is stretched and well-lubricated, that your hopup bucking is properly sealing, and that your hopup is properly secured against your gearbox for a good nozzle seal.
For a fraction of a fraction of the cost of that Modify gearbox, you may be able to resolve your compression and/or feeding problems and stop your pistons from stripping.
The other possibility for piston destruction is if you're running high voltage batteries.. in which case we can talk about AoE and other such matters.
Hope that helps
