Final gear ratio is the main factor. Gearing in the the trans is all the same ratio.

Yes, they are different.
The SS uses the Saab F35 (RPO code MU3 in the glovebox )
The LS, LT's use the Getrag F23 (RPO code M86 in the glovebox )
Those 2 transmissions will not be a direct interchange. You will need to find a Saab F35 to replace it with.
