Old [Sch|F]ool
The -SE trans (also the FC N/A trans) has a vent dongus on the driver's side that WILL interfere with the oil cooler line, on 12A cars equipped with the beehive oil cooler.
This is easily remedied with a 10mm socket.
Other than that, yeah, same **** except a much worse 5th gear ratio. The huge 4-5 drop makes highway driving a pain, and severely shortens 5th gear's synchronizer life.
- Pete (have FC N/A trans, lost the 5th gear synchro in 2 miles of spirited driving, Tranquil has it on tape
, that was about 6,000 miles ago, SYNCHROS ARE FOR WUSSES)
