Well, not really. The T1 cars received the 520 or the 523 (meaning you could get one in a Shadow, but also in a Spirit ES or Daytona) The intercooled cars and the minivan's received the 555 or 568 when turbocharged.
The axles are the same. The clutch splines changed in 91 and of course the shifter and cables are different between the 555/520 and the 568/523. BTW, the ultimate 5-speed transaxle for our cars is from the Maserati TC. It was developed by Getrag for a defunct mid-engined Corvette project. Though those are very rare and I dont' know about replacement parts as I'd heard that repair was only done via Getrag.

Same cases, but the 555 and the 568 received slightly stronger pieces. The 523 though is probably as strong as the 555 just due to its improved design. The 523 came in around 90, the same time as the 568. The parts will be hard to get either way, but the newer trannys will likely last longer due to being slightly newer with stronger parts (that are actually shared with the early Neon transaxles) TTYL, Stefan Basically the way I heard it was the 568 came in the larger body styles and the higher output turbo cars to make up for the weight.. ( I assume) the 523 were for the lighter cars like Shadow/Sundance turbo vs. non turbo also made a difference in final drive ratio.. to use one of these transmissions in a 555/520 equipped vehicle requires the use of newer axels (I believe) and the shifter and shifters cables to this to work properly.. I think this is a direct swap if im not mistaken? To use these in an L body requires a little more ingenuity and a BFH!.. ;) Chris Pauluk - Modesto CA - NorCalTurboDodge 84 Rampage - www.cardomain.com/id/pentastarturbo (or) www.cardomain.com/id/solo2rampage -====-._.-*-._.-*- < GROUP BUY > -*-._.-*-._.-====- L body 2 door car & truck (ie; Charger, Rampage body styles, ect.) *1979 - 1987* FULL A pillar trim replacement w/integrated dual 2-1/16" gauge housing pods http://www.turbododge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=471503&postcount=9 Contact me privately @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] if interested... -----------------------REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING---------------------------- Questions?
