Default Rear Suspension Subframe
Are the rear subframes the same for an auto and manual cars, and for a 87 are all the years usable?

No. The transmission mounts for the auto and manual are different. Not interchangeable.

Same part number 83 through 95. If you need a manual rear sub member I have one in storage.

I wouldnt bother,
just clean up the part you have without removing the LCAs
it will go back in much easier.
NOTE make sure to replace the 4 dog bone bushings

very early models set the transaxle back about 1 inch vs later models. I believe in 1983 the driveshafts were shorter and the tabs on the rear K member are different.
