Would anyone know if 1996 manual transmission fit onto a 1992 3.1 liter?

Your car is a rusted piece of crap, you have no idea what the hell you are doing, and the cost of transplanting what has to be a 4 cylinder '96 trans into a '92 3.1 that will need a bell housing change and likely a thousand dollars worth of parts, just made my Saturday night.
SCRAP THE DAMN THING AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!
I'm not a hater! Just a realist! And you have NO IDEA what the hell you are doing!
You are wasting your money!
Your car is a rusted out piece of crap and is unsafe in likely several ways.
SCRAP the damn thing and go find yourself a Honda.

96 trans is computer controlled, 92 is not so it has no computer to control the trans.
so no, it won't work.
From what I've read, you need some kind of bracket off a stick shift car to weld on to your automatic
car to be able to put a manual trans in your car and have it work.
From the photos I'm seeing, that car is not really worth the effort.
Maybe you can rebuild your engine to use in a early Beretta that has bad engine.
You need a car that is pre 1994.

In '96 5 Speeds only were available with 4 cylinder engines and are very rare.
They are NOT computer controlled! HELLO???
But the bell housing bolt pattern is not the same, so you you need a V6 bell housing, clutch assembly, a flywheel, a whack of linkage, cables, a shifter assembly, shift cables, a pedal assembly, and that is the simple stuff!
You really have no idea what you are doing!
That car needs to be scrapped.
Sorry but the truth hurts!

Actually the 2.0/2.2 components would bolt up to the V6 just fine, although they aren't made to handle the torque. Only the Quad is different in that respect.

"They are NOT computer controlled! HELLO???"
I only read the subject line and responded to that.
I assumed he was referring to an automatic.
Sorry I missed the word manual in his actual post.
I'm so glad you chose to belittle me by pointing out I made a mistake by typing "hello"
instead, you could have pointed out that he was talking about a manual transmission.
Now let me point out to you that you were also wrong.
