Are the '87- RT4WD transmissions and V/C's are different?

I have a line on a '87 RT4WD transmission and viscous coupler, but I'm assuming that they're not even close to the same as the later model stuff ('88+). Can anyone confirm one way or another? :(

    Judging from the parts breakdowns available online

    it's an entirely different beast.

    It certainly is,The mounts are entirely different from the 88+
    And the only engines that will mount to that tranny are the ew/d15 from the 84-87 wagon,and the D16A1 from the G1 Integra.
    That said,it could be MADE to work,but probably not worth the time/hassle

    just my $.02

    trans internals swap between the early case and later case no problem. Mildly different ratios.

    Sweet to know the internals swap!

    I was contemplating on engineering an adapter plate for 84-87 trannies to use the common D series engines. That way only one mount would have to be fabricated.
