Default 518 to Getrag swap

Has anyone done this swap? I;m wondering is the flywheel housings are the same?? I have a 91.5 that came with the 518, and I have the getrag with bellhousing but I don't have the donor engine from the getrag. any help would be great!
Also has anyone had issues breaking input shafts like the nv4500 is common for?? If so is there a billit shaft available for the getrag? Thanks

If i remember the adapter plates are the same, and yes the bell housings are the same bolt pattern. However the spline count on the manual tranny and the auto are different, so if you are using the auto's t case it will not work unless you change the input shaft in the t case.

hey justanother92 thanks for the help. the getrag I got came with the tcase. I did some research before posting and found almost all the info I needed except for if the adapter plates were different or not. they guy I bought the trans from said they were same, but it's better to hear it from more than 1 person. thanks again
