The transmission is different between a 2.6 and 3.0l. Externally not different - internally slightly different. If you can bring along the 3.0l tranny it would be good.

don't forget to change the motor mount arms from the 2.6 to the 3.0.although they look the same if you use the 3.0 arms the engine will be back into the firewall.
