anyone know if it will fit onto a dsm or will i have to just find another parts car with a manual rack? I can get a colt a lot easier in this area so it would be helpful if its possible.
 
I guess no one really knows.

I've been in a few salvage yards and looked at the colt manual rack. I didn't look too close, I figured I'd come back to it if I didn't find a DSM manual rack. I got lucky.

I'd recomend you measure the colt rack, and pull it off to see if the mounts on the body are the same shape as a DSM. The mounts are a hex shape. Maybe you could find another DSM in the yard to compare it with.

Check with the guys at the yard to see if they have any return guarantees. Sometimes a yard will do that just in case the part you pulled doesn't work or doesn't fit.

Good Luck HTH

Any junker should at least allow a trade-in credit, they're just selling the tonnage anyway.
 
Ask the salvage yard if it is compatible. Most have a data base that shows how many cars a particular part wil fit. Just tell them that you need a manual rack for your year of car and see what they find. 1.8L 1g are pretty common as well, you will have better luck finding one in this model.
