the shaft is smaller on the 4cyl so you need the proper pilot bearing for it to work. One of a dodge truck is what i have on mine. Came with the trans. first gear is a little longer I think but everything else is pretty much the same. There are quite a few guys running a 4cyl T5 and having just as much luck as the guy running a V8 one. Its all in how you drive.

You should know the difference between an auto and a T5, but since you gave me a great deal on that TV, Ill give you an idea. If you know the size of the input shaft (length and diameter) you can tell. A four cyl T5 is longer and thinner (much like comparing me against my friends) against a V8 T5 that is shorter and thicker. exactly what kevin said...

Ive heard that the turbo 4cyl t-5 is stronger than the v-8 t-5 because the turbo motors put out more torque. The pilot bearing that you have to use to put the 4cyl tranny behind a v-8 is a timken part # 202FF
