Good to know . I have to drive over an hour away to pick one up from a junk yard in Milwauke, WI because none of the junkyards around me have one and i wanted to be sure it will fit. Thanks again guys.

They are the same size as mentioned, however the 90 non turbo & 91 turbo MY's have a CV style center joint while the 91-94 non turbo & 92-94 turbo MY's have a u-joint style center joint.

It really doesn't matter too much, but just thought I'd let you know in case you run across one and it looks different.

What other Subaru driveshafts match 90-94 manual driveshafts?
So if there are no 90-94 Legacy manuals in the junkyard, what else can we look for?

Yes the one i found is the newer style . I ended up not getting one from a junk yard ,but one from a drive line shop that had one lying around. It cost me 200.00 vs. 100.00 however it will have a new rear u-joint and i didnt have to drive two hours to get it . It is the last part i need so i can get the car back on the road. Im picking it up tommarow.
