I forget.. are they?

Or is it just the GPz, and a few other models? I've been looking at transmissions on ebay and they all seem to look the same. I know mine is a 6-spd, and it's the M1 shaft drive LTD model.

I like that. A short, simple, consice, to-the-point kind of answer.

Yes, and all the ones I've checked (gpz, standard, LTD) use the same gearing except for the sprocket for the drive chain. I didn't check the shaft-drive gears though. I don't know if those ratios are the same.
