Is the standard transmission and automatic transmission rear calipers the same?

What's a transmission rear caliper?

It's different per model not trans. You should have the smaller brakes.

I do not know why rockauto.com has the rear calipers with standard transmission and then rear calipers with automatic transmission.

Can you contain any of this in one thread or at least post in the correct forums for some of the issues? This Pushrod Maintenance... there is a forum for brakes, transmissions, etc.

Sigh. Start a thread called 'packardbell's myriad of car troubles' and post everything in there. You don't need to start a new thread for every minutia of your repair attempts.

Sorry... didn't mean to be a dick.

okay the standard and auto rear calipers seems to be the same and identical. only difference is the bushings and seals for the two long bolts to mount.
the standard one using a rubber sleeve into the two holes with an exposed metal cylinder, while the auto one has these rubber seals that covers the sleeves.

got a hiccup trying to transfer the parking brake lever and bracket on the drivers side. Got the 17mm nut off but the T40 torx got rounded.
