SA Gurus Identify this trans please
Hello all, I am wanting to convert my SA auto to a manual. I don't want to chop up anything so is anyone able to identify this trans by these pictures. It is supposed to be an SA trans, but I want to be certain as the shipping will cost more than the trans itself.

I apologize for the grainy pix but I took a pix of a pix

Thank you
Rich

i'm not an SA guru, but i do know the shifter sits farther back on the FB tranny. so that's an SA.

The shifter length gives it away. SA. 4 speed or 5 speed is the next question.

It took me a while to find the specific picture that I was looking for on the internutz, but this should help.

Thank you all for the replies. Based on all I have read here, I thought it was SA due to the shifter location.

I wanted to be sure before I paid for it.

Thank you again

Rich
