Does anyone else know of a manual 1987 Thunderbird LX? I just want to make sure I don't have the only one.

According to the Standard Catalog of American Cars the 5 speed manual was the standard issue trans for the 4 cyl engine. Doubt if you have the only one.
PLEASE invest a few bucks and buy all the shop manuals for your car. Definitely will save you much time and be an education.

What's it behind? 5.0L V8 or 3.8L V6? The 4-cylinder was the engine used in the Turbo Coupe, and it did have choice of either 5-speed manual or automatic overdrive. More info needed - and if you could please post info from the Vehicle Certification Label on the door jamb as this has codes for the driveline - the VIN has the code for engine.
