Output shaft/yoke assembly part numbers are different (all have 27 splines, so not sure what the difference is). I have both so should look at them.
Every time I go to a pull-a-part yard for a fresh 71/72 Vega, if it was a four speed, the tranny is always gone. A lot of folks snatch these up thinking they are a regular GM four speed. Within a week or two, I see a local craigslist ad posting an Opel four speed for usually $200+ (I figure by this time after trying to sell it they realize it isn't a standard GM tranny). Anyway over the course of a few months the price goes down to where they are going to loose money. Makes me laugh every time.
