Any transmissions from 95-99 can be used with no issue. You can also utilize the transmission from Infiniti I30's as well, same years.

I assume you are in Canada since you're referencing 'non-lock'...?

any year trans?

since im replacing my tranny and its a non locking 5 speed id assume i would have to get a non locking in a later year but i dont know how to tell if its locking or non locking

Yes you will use a non-locking tranny...the shaft is different for the LSD (locking) tranny.

BTW
---------------------------
If lsd, both wheels should rotate the SAME way. If it rotates the opposite way the viscous coupling is damaged.

Look at the tranny code. If it ends in V, lsd. If it is A, non lsd.
