Question about input shafts
On monday I blew my original transmission in my 95 se-r. I just picked up another one yesterday and I noticed one difference between the two. Both are 5sp lsd. The end of the input shaft in the bellhousing looks a little different.

my original trans


and the new one


Note that the new one has a cone shaped end where as the original one is more of a cylindrical shape. The new one also had a vin plate on it so i googled the # and it said this was from a 97. So my main question is, is this a problem? I need to fix the car asap so I dont really have a choice right now.

The secondary question is why would they change it anyway? Thoughts?

I've never heard of any problems. Might be a pilot bearing issue though. Pretty sure you'll be fine but maybe wait for confirmation.
