manual tranny id The Muncie 4 speed. Only has 2 pieces to it’s case so it does NOT have an end cap.
 The cables run over the top side by side.
 The cables are held in this bracket and use two spring metal clips in the shape of a “U” to hold them in place
 The 84 4 speed case has brackets for cables used in FWD cars cast in to it's case.
 The 85 and up case does not have the cable brackets.
 The 84 case is smooth.
 The 85 and up case has fins cast in it to make it stronger.

The Isuzu 5 speed Has three pieces to it’s case and has a large aluminum end cap.
 The cables run over the top side by side.
 The cables are held in this bracket that has a single bolt running through the center of it.
 It has a reverse light switch on the top next to three large bolts.

a 86 and up GT would have had a getrag in it so thats why it looks like one.
and I never have been able to make any sence out of the whole dip stick thing, some had em, some didn't
(that's why i didn't mention it) but thanks for bringing it up. [This message has been edited by buddycraigg (edited 06-06-2005).]
