<VV> Manual trans diff. VS. Automatic trans diff.??

[Harry Yarnell]

Ron, Two completely different animals.Input snouts (front and rear) are
completely different. Pinion shaft is different.Case on the automatic won't
allow fluids to mix. This feature is needed on the manual, as they share
lube. Probably others, but that's it off the top of my head this early in
the morning.
