I just crawled out from under the car and took all the numbers off the 18-spline 4spd...

Passenger side shows the following...
23113812
E3 97622
PP8332239 01 70

Drivers side shows this on a tag attached ...
C 95664 and a possible casting showing 71-8

My VIN# is RM23NOG113812...it's looking to me like someone a long time ago (not my buddy but before him) was trying to pass this car off as numbers matching?
