MSG, SLXTC and HPTC Rebuild Kits. Take A Look...

The MSG series manual transmission and transfer case are used in Isuzu vehicles; see below for more details. The SLXTC is for an Acura and the HPTC used in the Honda. What do these have in common you ask? Well they all use the same gasket and seal kit.

Three of the units also share the bearing kit and the other two (MSG5ET/5F Standard Transmission) use different bearing kits.
