    Would a w59 bolt up to my 20r? I can't find anything that says what they came on..

    There's one for sale locally and it would be nice having a 5 speed!

    I've read that the w56 bell housing will bolt up to the w59 gearbox but I don't know the specifics. Plus there may be a difference in the 2wd and 4wd models.

    They should both come in 2wd, so there shouldnt be a difference if i do 2wd to 2wd.. atleast i think.

    Im trying to get more opinions, or someone whos done it..
