It appears that the trannies are all the same for the most part (how they bolt to the engine). Internally, three major (if you want to call them that) parts changed at some point. My mechanic says they changed post 96. But since my car was built 10/95 I am not sure which version of the transmissions I am running. Here are the parts I am aware of:
1. Gear Selector lever
2. Internal lever
3. Reverse gear
There gear selector apparently was improved to facilitate locating gears (currently my problem, I have a hard time getting into reverse). The reverse gear is sold as a cluster of parts. This cluster has the reverse gear (a toothed wheel), the syncronizer, and a bunch of other little parts. There reverse gear looks like something you can just remove and replace (the entire rod) with some "minor" diffculty. Then again the EPC lies :) I think woody S mentioned that the 5th gear needs to be removed just to open the transmission case, so how easy is "easy" is up for debate. Then the are some bearings which are suggested replacement, not sure why.
Bottom line: The transmission "improved" at some point. I am running a hydraulic clutch retrofit on my 96. I thought that the majority of the clutch retrofit parts were external to the transmission (essentially taking over the clutch cable arm). Of course the slave cylinder being the exception, but that seemed to bolt right in where the arm used to be.
I could be completely wrong about this, so do not quote me or take my word for it.
