Does anyone know if the transmission in the 3.7 is the same as the one in the 5.0?

Does the bellhousing separate from the transmission (I know it doesn't on the automatics).

Same, different ratios. Does not come apart at the bell. Ratios are better with the V8 trans if you change the rear gear to 3.55 or lower. The 4.23 first in the MT82 V6 trans is super low. Intended for the 2.73 gear corporate mpg deal. Good swap if you find a good trans cheap. Modern Driveline now has the Tremec Magnum XL for the V6 if your so inclined. With this trans you can put any engine in from the V6 to a Boss 429 or LS!

As has already been said it is the same basic trans but the ratios are very different. I have heard that the trans in the 5.0 is beefed up a bit to handle the extra power but I can't confirm that.
