ok will the f5m31 non-turbo bolt to my engine? my current trans is a f5m33.and what is the major difference besides turbo and non.and if it will how long should it hold up? thanks, jason

As long as you have a 4g63 turbo motor, then yes the galant tranny WILL bolt up. As for the gear ratios im not exactly sure, but shouldnt be too far off. But to confirm, it will work.

thanks, jason
