Hey we are just finishing up on our CA install into a 1990. We also did an auto to manual swap on it. The problem is the driveshaft won't fit into the transmission. Somebody or another told us that none of the driveshafts from an 89/90 would work and someone said that it just needs to be from a manual transmission 89/90 and it will work fine. Since yours is a 90 we were wondering if you used the driveshaft from your car or if you used one from a 90-93. Sorry if that is confusing.

Thanks,Matt

I've got an '89 and the driveshaft works just fine. You just need to get the manual driveshaft and you'll be fine.

Cool his old engine is now in my car. Actually he needs the aac valve from my old engine, but I am probably off topic so I'll shut up
