I need to replace my manual gearbox, does anyone know if there is a specific T5 gearbox or will any 850 manual gearbox fit?

It is the same between all 850 manuals.

Actually there are two versions, the M56H and the M56L. They have slightly different gear ratios. I think I would go for the H version, particularly with a turbo. My M56L seems like it is geared too low even on my '94 N/A. I think they cleaned up the ratio differences between 2nd and 3rd a bit on the H version as well.

The H is the way to go. Besides what was already mentioned, I have also been told that it is a stronger transmission then the L trans.
