Other than the different torque bar they are all the same transmissions. So when you get it get the bar and it is a bolt in swap. Clutch and everything else is the same. As far as the speedometer gear here is the interchange information I have dug up.

Quote:
There are several different speedometer gears for the various tires that have came on the Suzuki Swift, Geo Metro, and 95+ European Subaru Justy. The drive gear inside the transmission is the same number of teeth on all the cars so it does not need to be changed. It is a plastic 18 tooth gear. The only difference is the driven plastic gear. It is the one attached to the speedometer cable and can be removed by taking the single bolt out and gently twisting and pulling it out of the transmission. If it is stuck use penetrating oil to free it up.

The ratios available are:

* 16 tooth brown gear.
* 17 tooth white gear.
* 18 tooth yellow or beige gear.

The cars listed that they came on. I have figured it out based on the tire size on the car.

* Swift GA and Metro Convertible had 165/65R13 tires, the same diameter as the 145/12 tires so had the 18 tooth gear
* Swift GT had 165/65R14 tires, the same diameter as the 155/13 tires so had the 17 tooth gear.
* putting 175/70R14 tires on will require a 16 tooth gear but no cars came stock with it that I know of in the US so it has to be ordered from a dealer or from a junkyard in Canada.
