BJ or GJ -> m20 Getrag 245 CR
BN,GH or GL -> m10 Getrag 245 OD
GC,GG or GM -> m20 Getrag 245 OD
ME,MF -> m10 Getrag 240 OD
MG -> m20 Getrag 240 OD
CR = "sport" and OD = overdrive
Would you mind marking this place (stamped numbers) on some example photo please?

Only with the very latest 5 speeds, these do not have the extension anymore and are a few cm's shorter than the 4-speed indeed.

This is what I remember. No way a late 5 speed is shorter than the 4 speed. The photo says it all. Tnx!3771489 wrote: Wed Oct 20, 2021 3:19 pm They are not.
