should be, but you will need drive shafts and other parts off the old car too.

also iirc (could be wrong) all the gear ratios are the same apart from either 5th or 6th, cant remember whether 5 & 5 are the same or 5&6 are the same. (Could be entirely wrong though).

The gearbox is going back into the same car that it came out of but it will be on an aum engine. I thought the driveshafts and gear linkage and everything else should be ok.
