My other friend with the 3.4 also uses the 987 five speed and both believe the 987 transmission is stronger than the 986. Externally it looks the same as a 986 gearbox though. I believe the transmission code on top of the bellhousing for a 987 is GAL

Does it take different axles? Bellhousing is the same I take it.
