[quote=""Wolf_Zero""]Are you guys sure about the 25 spline shift in Nov? Cause my '92 was built in Oct. (according to the vin) and it has a 25-spline in it. I know for sure the previous owner didn't pay for a swap as well.[/quote]

I'm positive that the shift was officially reported then. However, there are a lot of random cases of 18 splines past then, there is only one way to truly know that I've learned.
pull off the xcase and stare at that shaft until it spits the number out at you.
or count the splines

I hate getting "is this a V6" or "is this turbo"

It says it on the fucking door for christ's sake.
