but the later years had some different ratios so you need to check after
about 92' years to be sure

If yours doesn't have the electrical connector on the rear third, you can either use one with it, or without it.....it will work and fit fine and it won't affect the brake light on the dash or anything else.
Any 89-95 2 door with an 8V and an auto should have 4.62 gears.
All 96-98 X90s had 4.62s (both auto and manual trannies).
The 91 4 doors with the auto tranny had 4.62s.

A 96 with a manual tranny already has 5.12 gears. So your only options are to find a set of 5.38 or 5.62 gears to swap in. Both can be hard to find, but I do have a set of each for sale. But I will warn you, they are not cheap.
