Drive train, steering and suspension

Hi, Iam new to this forum. I have bought a Mu with 2.8L diesel and the transmission is shot, I have a 3.1L diesel and the auto in it is good but it is a 5speed can any one tell me if the 5 speed will bolt straight up to the 2.8L diesel?

if both auto or both manual it will fit but they use different driveshafts. Auto to manual means moving the crossmember

I went through 3 automatic transmissions in my previous 2.8 auto Mu. Nobody told me you could put a 3.1 trans in a 2.8, I was told the 3.1 is partly electronic and would require a lot of changes. The 2.8 is a purely mechanical transmission. correct me if im wrong.
