Often times, these two transmissions will also have the same spline count on their output shafts however, this can be the key difference between the two transmissions. Two wheel transmissions will sometimes have longer shafts whereas the four wheel version of the transmission will often mate to a transfer case in order to distribute power to both the rear and front axles.
