I'm in an interesting situation with my car that i've had a hard time finding answers for.
I have a 12/87 ('88 model year) Euro Vert, that I'm collecting parts for to swap to a manual in the spring.
However, I'm having trouble figuring out the transmission/shifter situation given it's an in-between year, early-model-appearing, euro model of the vert, which has its own weird facelift pattern.
Core question is: Do i use an early G260 or a late one, and do i use the early, sheet metal shifter carrier or the late model rod-style one?
My confusion comes from this: It's obviously early in appearance with the early tails, and valances, but has the larger 65L fuel tank, some late model options, and ellipsoids, not sealed beams, given it was a euro model.
Does anyone have vert-specific model year information? The e30ic site states there was a transmission change in 9/88, but I don't know if that's the box itself or the shifter carrier, and if that applies only to USDM models...
