Hi Guys,

The manual trans on my 850R is making some horrible grrrring noises at low revs and have the funny feeling that is is on its way out.

The upside is that I have a wreck of a Yellow T5R that I have been stealing parts from. My question is are the transmissions on each readily interchangable or will I have my work cut out changing one for the other? I seem to recall that the gear box is slightly different on the 96 850R
