unless the transmission cases are also changed.
Do not be alarmed ifthe idler gear and diffgear supplied with your transmission are black

We are sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause. The 'XX' transmission was added to
the LX-T as soon as possible. Together,
they make the most competitive racing truck available .
Good Racing.
