Chances are you have the puegot if its an 89. Look at the tranny casing, if there is a seem on the bottom going from the bell housing to the back of the tranny where the casing splits in half, its a puegot.

You could have an ax15 if yours was made in late 89.(I believe that is when they switched) Cant really tell you without pics or anything. Also take a pic of the rear end and we will be able to tell you what rear end you have.
