Nope, and they won't interchange - bolt patterns are different between the direct drive TDs and the neutral enabled TNs. The TN's used a rubber star style impeller on the driveshaft, while the TDs used a plunger type on the propshaft...

One I got here has what looks like a 2 inch spring where the D/S goes just before it goes into the guts (rest is gone..impeller.)
That a TN Scott?

The TN has a neutral clutch--the spring you see. The TD is direct drive--no spring.
