Sort of. The number of clutches may be different but as long as it's not a diesel or V10 they will interchange.

The pre-'96 OD unit still has a mechanical governor inside so it is considered a hydraulic-controlled unit even though it needs an electric signal to engage the OD.

Not very clear on what you are asking.

Two variants for control regarding the 1/2, 2/3 shifts.
RH uses a typical governor while the RE uses a governor pressure transducer and duty cycle solenoid to generate gov. pressure.

Both the RH and RE use electronic controls to achieve the 3/4 shift.

I think he wants to know if an A500 OD unit will interchange with an A518.

The back of all overdrive transmissions are the same.

There are two styles of overdrive piston retainer - one for the RE and one for the RH.
