If the motor is removed,..... And your's obviously Was,......
Regardless of What nuts,+ bolts you used to put it back together,......

It Needs to be Realigned.........

i want to know though if that coupler is compatible

I donno,..... Probably Not......
A 1992 driveline Should be using the triangular Coupler.....

and please if you could direct me to the right forum,

You should be posting down in the Merc./ Volvo I/O forum where you were posting before,.......
But,......
I'm sure that once 1 of the Mod.s finds this,...... They'll move it there for you.......

Always replace the fiber and "spring washers" under the rear mounts and realign the engine. Heard of folks getting away with no alignment procedure (spline shaft slid in easily) but not many.
