Well, interesting story: My 87 started life as an automatic (I'm not the original owner of this car, by the way). Through a series of unfortunate events I had to repair the rear bumper, tail lights and deck lid. Instead of buying new parts for lots of money, I bought an '89 with a busted engine (rod knock) for much less. The '89 had a five-speed, so on top of the body parts I transplanted, I also took the transmission.
The transmission shifts fine into all the other gears, just not second.
