as above

i'm going to guess that the bell housing side is the same, and the outer casing is different, but can someone confirm if this is right or wrong place?

Cheers, Mike

The 6 speed box has fins on it for cooling. Certainly different than the 5. They're also made by separate companies. Aisin made the 6 speed. I forget who made the 5.

The outer casing is definitely different. Thats why they have different driver's side mounts. No I idea about the bell housing.

Probably. They're a vendor for a few auto manufacturers.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't want to say anything without being 100% sure
