well early 86 was the non world class and the late 86 was the world class (which is much stronger) but either way as long as the 90 was originaly a manual car then it will just bolt up like the original one, the bell housing, driveshaft, and cross member are all the same

83-84 was the introduction of the NWC T5
85 brought the first WC T5's
90 the WCT5 was improved
93.5 it was improved again
94 the input shaft was made longer
96-04 the T5 was still backing up the 3.8l V6's and will swap directly into a 94-95 5.0 as long as you have the 94-95 5.0 bellhousing
