As I recollect, the "J-type" is used on the TR-6 series, and the "A-type" is
on the -3's and-4's. But the easiest way to separate them is to look at the
operating solenoid: if the solenoid is on the left (driver's) side and is
vertically mounted, it is the older OD, and was used on the 3s and 4s; if on
the lower left side, and is horizontal then it is the newer version and was
used on the 6-cylinder engines. They are only interchangeable if you make an
adapter mounting. It's easier to put the older type in the cars with the 6
cylinder engine.

Subject: [6pack] identify transmission
I have a 4 speed transmission with J-type OD I purchased on e-bay several
years ago. The J-type does not have the same mounts as the car. I am
wondering of anybody can identify it through the model numbers on the side
of the tranny:
306812WYF E336/R
