Yes. You can use CWM to flash a TWRP zip and vice versa, or flash either recovery image via fastboot no matter what's installed.
Edit: and of course use Goo Manager to install TWRP.

Which ROM and which cellphone are you using? You could try re-checking the MD5 and/or fastboot flash boot boot.img again in order to rectify the corrupt booting files if any.

[Q] TWRP doesn't replace CWM

I'm having some trouble with installing a new recovery. I want to have TWRP because I want to install a ROM that requires it. At the moment I have some old CWM but when I flash TWRP and reboot into recovery I still get into CWM.
So how do I replace CWM or at least boot into TWRP?

Try 4ext recovery, in my opinion i think its better. Also u cant flash recovery "flash zip from sdcard" u have to either use fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or via PB99IMG method or using the 4ext app but u can only use the app once ur phone is booted.

I can't used fastboot because my device refuses to boot into anything other than recovery, even when I press "boot into bootloader", so HBOOT is out of the question.
Some ADB commands simply don't seem to work in this recovery. I can however use the adb shell to push files into the phone. Just nothing beyond that.
I've tried this to no success, primarily because I can't get into HBOOT.
There is one thing I have yet to try, and that's installing via zip. Would it be possible to install a recovery image via zip file? If so, how? The recovery images I have are all in .img format.
yes, you can

Yes, you can. You can download flashable zip for CWM and flash TWRP or another CWM.
