I am asking this for my dad. The center support bearing in his vehicle (listed above) is going out. He is having a tough time finding one and even tougher time finding one for a manual transmission. Will one from an automatic work for a manual transmission?

Yes, they should be the same bearing for stick or automatic. Here is a guide to help you remove the driveshaft and diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Once the driveshaft is out take it to a automotive machine shop they can press the bearing for you if you do not want to press it yourself. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
