VERY Different. 5th gear synchro will drive you almost insane while trying to install it. Double cone synchro falls apart as your pressing it on.
I did cheat about 30-40 steps, pulled the gearsets out along with the shifter forks in one fell swoop. Putting them back in require a third hand to lower the diff in.

so, what do you need in this install? trd sparks has that package now. but it says...

"Excludes shims and speedometer drive gear."
so... what do you really need for this. no shops want to take this job without knowing exactly what to do.

speedo drive gear, TOOLS, and shims. You won't know the shim size until diff is test fitted. Since the shims are only stocked at the Cali warehouse, the car is gonna be taking up a rack for about a week.
Shops don't like that!

so he didn't do the install in a rush.. just took his time and did it right instead of trying to rush through it.

Honda only use 10 ring gear bolts, Toyota uses 16!

POS Mazda tranny is the biggest thorn in my side in my ZX2. BTW there are some 4 spider gear non-LSD diffs (FWD Ford Escape is one... sounds more like a quick hack by Ford/Mazda to keep it from breaking since it's the same internals as the ZX2 tranny, just different gearing).
BTW, the Ford diffs I've seen have the ring gear welded on (as you can see in my pic).
