[urq] 5ktq driveline into UrQ?[wasRe: Urq's and the 016 transmission]

[Ben Swann]

Is this the case, or are they identical(enough to swap)?  I  thought it
would have to be an all or nothing swap, unless the rear diff. has the same
ratios - which glancing at specs Ti gave earlier may be the case.

So do I just swap out the trans and front diff. combo and leave rear diff as
is?
