<td valign="top">Well, I got the transmission today. It is an EM case which means 3.91 gearing.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">While I am here at home I decided to pull the output shafts off to see if the type 3 are the same spline count. To my surprise they slid right in...<br clear="none"><br clear="none">NOw I am in a debate with myself. Part of me wants to run it with the 3.91 gears and see what happens to performance, mileage and temperature.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">The other side of me wants to throw in the other differential and play it safe........but safe is not fun.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">I will think it over the rest of my work day and make a decision this evening. Regardless I will have to replace some seals in the new case before I do anything. We will see.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Thoughts?<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Adam<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br
