Yep, same transmission. You've just saved yourself a few $$... The only thing you'll need to change, if I recall correctly, is the shifter linkage - just swap it from your old transmission. The linkage comes apart by sliding back the steel sleeve over the junction between the rods, and pushing out one of the pins. Or you could just swap OD units. Only difference may be the overdrive unit itself, I believe a different (beefier) unit was used for the turbos but either one works.
