Well then you got a pretty good deal for $150.

The gear ratio won't be "right" for a 2.3T though.

He has an 86 with a 7.5, which IS different and wider than the others (the housings).  The overall width from axle  to axle  is the same however.  This has been discussed ALOT on here.

The SN-95 bushings are a bit stiffer.
