3B tranny same as MC-2 tranny?

[ben swann]

Thanks Scott.

Looks like I have everything to do this, should I ever have the need.
I have the entire drivetrain available off my departed 5ktq wagon.

In the mean time, I'll leave well enough alone.  Plenty of outstanding
projects to attend to and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right!?
