This one has a cast on bell, but I have yet to see one.

2018-present D478 6 speed

Watch out for the Toyota 5 speed's as well. The R series are the larger case like the AR5 and AX15. As for the others, I believe they are light duty like the AX4 and AX5.

End of the day, look for AR5,AX15 and the R154. Also consider the Jeep NVG 3550.


So the Jeep AX4/5 is completely incompatible?

The D478 is a cast in bell or the AX4/5?

I think the Sky/Solstice would be the best transmission for a light car. I think the R154 is extremely strong, and I'd assume the internals of other R transmissions are fairly similar.

Isn't the NVG3550 the same thing as an AX15?
