I was under the impression that the 1st and 2nd gen transmissions were different. The part numbers for the gears are similar, but not identical. Take a look for yourself.
I have an 05' trans in my 01'. Just need side cover and oil pan gaskets IIRC. Other than that, it drops right in. 4 years later, I still have 2nd gear :flex:
