Can this be done? My car currently has a EGR transmission and I am looking into getting a different transmission. Do the EBJ's work on my car that previously had a EGR on it? I think I read somewhere a long time ago that the shift linkage ends are different, but works fine otherwise. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Will I have to move the linkages over? Thanks in advance.

The way the linkage attaches should be the same as the EGR coded trans, if it's not, swapping the tower isn't that hard. Otherwise rest of trans is a direct bolt up.

Shouldn't be a problem. I think I bolted up an EUH at once point to an ALH, because I wanted the .746 5th instead of the .759 of the EGR. No changes otherwise.
