tranny swap

i think you will find that they are the same internally. some shift related devices on the side of the tranny are probably different. they can be interchanged.

i put an auto from a 240 into a 280e that i got really cheap with a bad tranny. it works fine except it thinks the redline of the 280 is about 4,000 rpm and so shifts then. it is a little odd but works acceptably for cheap wheels.
