Members will tell you their are a ton of threads, go search, but there really isn't any good ones.
I'm in the same boat right now. I'm staring at a 1354 manual sitting in my bedroom right now.
Are you interested in a manual or an electric 1354?
Whichever one it is, one of your problems will be with your front driveshaft. You have a '96 Sport, which was the last year for the double-cardan style front driveshaft, however & unfortunately, the '96 had a very unique driveshaft compared to 91-94's. Which one of the driveshafts below looks like yours?
I don't know what years the 1354e came in, but if you're looking for a manual, I do know that they were only on the 91-94 Ex's, which have the basic u-joint connection like in the 2nd pic, which means 99% of the 1354 manuals will have (besides rare 21st century 1354m's from Rangers, which had CV cup flanges).
So the question for you is, if you're getting a 1354, man or elec, from a 91-94 Ex or Ranger, will the 91-94 front driveshaft be the proper length for your odd-ball '96 Sport? There's a post someone here that discusses the odd front driveshaft lengths on '95 and '96's, but I don't think any real answers came from it.
I plan on doing a writeup, and further researching the driveshaft thing for myself. Take some pics of your front driveshaft, and measure its overall length, as well as the "prop shaft" length. Compare those results with
www.cardone.com, which gives a few dimensions and post them.
