quantity of clutch plates and the shifter cable bracket mounting is different.
Just curious but where did you find the info on the clutch plates? A lot of people use to say the same about 4r70w's but I built one out of a 03 v6 Mustang to go into my 94 f150 and it had the same number of plates as the v8 version 4r70w.
I guess the question is what is involved in changing them out.
