SE tranny
Alright this will probably sound like a newbie question and it is, but i couldn't find the answer in a search. What are the differences between a GSL tranny and an SE tranny? I am buying my first rex this weekend (an 83 gsl) and it already has an SE tranny, so I'm wondering what the differences are. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a related question. I have an '83 GS, and the tranny has been swapped. I do not know what the tranny is from, but it fits almost perfectly. The only difference I can see, is the shifter is about 1/2 to 1 inch further back the the stock location. I can see where someone has modified the opening in the floor, to allow this to fit.
Any way I could ID what the tranny originally came from?
Could this be from an SE? Or even a newer model?

That would be a 2nd gen tranny.If its smooth on the outside like the 1st gens,then its a non turbo 2nd gen trans.If it has ribs on it and a removable bottom plate,then youve got a TII tranny...lucky you!
The 2nd gen non turbo 5 speed isnt that far off from the 1st gen 5 speed.Someone either used it because they couldnt find anything else,or they bought it rebuilt not knowing it was for an FC.

Well, I don't remember for sure, but I think it's got ribs on the case. I sure don't remember a plate, though. My guess is, it was bought rebuilt by someone that just wanted a tranny. I know it has been into, as it has red silicone at all the mating surfaces. Hafta look under it again. Needs a tranny mount, that would be a great time to check it closer.
Thanks for the info.
Are the ratios different for a second gen trans? 75 MPH = about 3900RPM, assuming both the Tach and speedo are close to accurate.

I once had a rebuilt SE tranny that was assembled with a 2nd gen main case.It had the 2 circumferential ribs around the bellhousing like the FC,but the shifter tower was definately 1st gen.I wouldnt doubt that trans rebuilders sometimes goof, or interchange parts of the Type M rotary 5 speeds,they are all very similar.
