I tried searching, maybe I was not looking things up right, basically im looking for a picture of the difference between the 2.



I actually have pictures of both types, but none of them show the same angles or the same details, they actually suck for side by side comparisions.



so anyone have a picture of both transmissions side by side or a easy way of knowing the difference?





thanks

I have S4 and S5 n/a transmissions literally side by side, and I can't tell the difference. The only way I know is that one....crap, I think I forgot which is which. I'll take a look at them tonight more closely if you don't have an answer by then.

I need TII differences

i dont think there is any. i have had both out of cars side by side, the only way i was able to tell them apart was i labled them s4 and s5 when i removed them from the cars. i know s4 and s5 na trannies are way differnt on the insides lol

I believe my original guess is correct, one has a noticable smoother case then the other.

a s5 is ribbed where a s4 is not

I want my BabyBack BabyBack BabyBack ribs!



TIIs look the same. Newer N/A has less ribs than TII and has integrated bell housing. Early N/A (86?) FCs have a smooth case, barely any ribs.



Im 90% sure the S5 has different elec. connectors for the switches. Been a while since ive seen one.

man I could swear early TII had a case with like 2 ribs where s5s had like 5-6 ribs



going by my input shaft seems I at least have a s4 input shaft, no worries as my pressure plate is

being taken care of.

tranny crossmember its diferent betwen series

yeah, the S4 crossmember that attach to the tranny rear housing is flat like this line _____ and the S5 is like this one \______/.

im talking if you dont have any crossmembers on hand.



my problem was someone changed my front cover to a S4 and the trans was S5.

Simple $45 cover change and all was well again.

My theory is that at sometime in Japan someone with a S5 needed a trans, got one from another car

and because they had stock clutch and pressure plate decided to swap the front covers so they could

use what they already had.
