The First question would be why would you want to?

well i have a spare z6 trans and the gsr trans i am getting i dont knwo truely the condition of the gears and if it dose work it would eb a simple solution to having to run out and buy brand new though i dont really know how much they are new either so it may be cheaper going that route

Short Answer is No.

This is why:

Full Picture (1920x1600)
As you can see the internals are different sizes.

Even if they where not different sizes the Ratios would be different, Therefore not being a good solution.

I was 99.9%sure it wouldn't work, However wanted to open up the repair manuals side by side to make sure for the extra .1%, As well as prove from the book it cant be done.
