I'm aware of the throwout bearing ID difference between the car year models.. Is changing the Throwout Bearing the only way to get the trans in? Or is there another option since I have both trans here? Just wanting to get some experienced answers. Thanks

Its just the input shaft diameter. So yes, just the Throwout bearing for the install. However the Black label uses a lockout lift ring for reverse. You will need an early version shift lever with the lockout lift ring to engage reverse. The ring uses Allen screws that lock the ring to a shaft that runs in the center of the shift lever. Once tightened you lift the ring with your fingers as you shift into reverse. The shaft is lifted and allows reverse to engage. You will also find that the VSS electronic connectors are different. Just swap the VSS unit from the blue tag into the black tag so connectors match your harness. You will also notice that the trans will be louder in low gears, some even have a slight growl, under 2000 rpm due to the slightly straighter cut of the gears.
