the tranny bolt pattern on the rear housing on these engines, whether 12a or 13b, r the same. the trannys themselves, however, differ over the years in shifter position and gear ratios. the SE trannys have a much higher 5th gear ratio than any of the other 1st gens. any tranny off a 12a from '81 to '85 will work in a GSL-SE. as for any tranny after '85, i can't be of much help since i personally haven't delt with them. i think u would have to use the bellhousing from the early rib case trannys to use a T2 tranny for ur application.
