Brad,
Externally, the GT6 and Spitfire boxes will look the same. I believe
the case is interchangeable, it's just that you have to use ALL GT6 gears,
or ALL Spitfire gears, no mix and match. GT6 has the close ratios.
The GT6 input shaft has to be shortened to be used in a Spitfire, and the
spline count is different.
