Yes!
The 5 speed trannies are really the same as Syncro units without the front
shaft extension.

Subject: Dumb differential question

 Can the differential and the transmission come apart or all they all one
thing?  Reason I ask is I have now a 5sp manual tranny with an open
differential and I'd like to have a locking differential.  But I like the 5
speed so how about fitting a locker from a Syncro to the 5sp?  Possible?
  If I found a syncro tranny with a locker could I somehow combine the two
and end up with a locking 5sp?  That would be exactly right for me.
  Anyone?
