I have a 91 tranny in my 90 talon and have problems. I have read that I would need to only change the cables and shift cable bracket on the 91 to a 90. I also heard that I was able to run the 90 cables but needed to change the shifter base in the car for it to work. If anyone can tell me what works please I need to know soon as possible. This matter maybe affecting why I having problems with my tranny not wanting to go into gear.

Whoever told you that a 91 tranny would work on a 90 tranny was on crack at the time. The 90 is a 23 spline, and 91+ is a 22 spline. (this is why the 90 is referd as the bastard year for DSM, it matches almost nothing). What kind of condition is your tranny in (the 91) I need one. PM if you want to sell it.
Not to mistaken you but the 90 and most 91 have a 22 spline output shaft. I believe they have made some tranny's in 91 with 23 splines but its not common to hear. In 92+ the tranny's come out with 23 spline for the output shaft.
For as my question goes I was wondering if I need to change the cables, shifter base, or shifter cable brackets for the tranny to go into gear fine. I read on VFAQ that you need the shift cable off of a 91 if transfer a 91 tranny to a 90 model car. And also it says I need to switch the bracket that holds on the cables to the tranny. And than today I called someone and ask for professional advice and they mentioned I need to change the shifter base in the car for the tranny to go into 1st and 2nd gear. I was hoping to find someone that has already put a 91 and up tranny in there 90 and to tell me what changes they had to make of the shift linkage.
Mine refused to go into gear on a 91 tranny with 90 cables shifter base assembly and a 91 bracket. I had to go to a junkyard and get the 91 base bracket and I had a set of 91 cables. Gravy after that! Was only like 20 bucks too and it can come from a N/T also.

Sorry man, didn't see this yesterday. I put a 92 GVR4 tranny in mine. Bought a shifter and cables etc. out of a 92 eclipse and all is good. Except the tranny is messed up now... time for Shep to get a hold of it I guess....
NO problem, just like to hear what everyone has done. I have thought about just switching out the cable brackets and shift levers off the tranny. I am trying to avoid the shifter base and cable route b/c hate to get do away with the short throw. At the time I am having a few guys working out a tranny problem (the infamous engaging and disengaging) and the trans is out wanted to do what I need before they put the tranny back in.
during a 5speed swap and a jdm swap, i have to cut and weld the shifter cables, to fit, since they were from a 1.8, ahha, all i could fine locally. but it worked after that.
i have 90 and i but 92 tranny in, i got the 92 cables and base and bracket from a 92 in the junk yard, and everything is on and it dosent go in gears at all and barly moves side to side??????? i dont get it
i messed with it and took everything off and put it back on and its good now lol i have no clue ### i did diffrent or ### i did rong the first time.. it was weird
ok sounds kinda wierd but i am doing and engine and trans swap from a 90 to my 91.......dont worrie it is just temporary till i can rebuild my 91 engine and trans......i was just wondering how to remove the lever from the 90 trans so that i can put the longer one into the 90 trans so my linkage fits up right. it looked like it had a little roll pin in it but i could not get that out.....any help would be appreciated.
For those of you swapping in 91+ cables to a 90, were both cable ends (shifter side) adjustable (like the 1990s) or was only one? If so which arm (the adjustable one) did it attach?
I've recently got hold of a set of 1993 cables (top two in pic) and shifter and am trying to figure out cable orientation.
BTW.. my 1991 tranny in a 1990 used the OEM 1990 shifter/cables/tranny bracket, which I made work by drilling/tapping the non-removable shifter arm on the tranny so could install a bolt to mount the shift cable in the same orientation as was on my 1990 tranny. Worked nicely
Can anyone help? Shifter cables
Not to mistaken you but the 90 and most 91 have a 22 spline output shaft. I believe they have made some tranny's in 91 with 23 splines but its not common to hear. In 92+ the tranny's come out with 23 spline for the output shaft. 
Is there not anyone out there put a 91 and up trnny in there 1990?
