Look for something with the same draw weight and depth of shelf cut.  Lots of good T/D longbows being made today.  Keep an eye on the classifieds, that's where I found my Pronghorn and it shoots the same arrows as a couple of my other main bows.

Ya Fletcher hit the nail I believe.
Similar design limbs as your current bow would help.  How much R/D?  like a hybrid? or more of a gentle curve?  Try and find a bow that is similar would be my thought.

I have had and still have t/d bows and have had some real problems with the sleeve t/d system. from very notable bowyers, 2/4 of the sleeve bows I have owned have had issues of noise and clicking etc. I tried every trick in the book and ended up selling them. I now own one sleeve t/d which was a replacement for the one that never was right (bowyer made me a new one), and another with the connexion hinge that is up for sale. The connexion hinge is my favorite system for a 2 piece bow that I have seen so far. It is strong and almost impossible to get to make any noise so long as the brace height is set properly. I will never buy another t/d bow 2 piece with anything but the connexion hinge. they are too inconsistent.
