"On the S5 N/A transmission in a 81-85 model there are modifications needed.
You remove the rear counterweight or harmonic balancer as they call it removed from the S5 transmission then swap the tail shaft housings over.
You would use your appropriate drive shaft from your 81-85 model with the S5 transmission."
So we are clear! The harmonic balancer is not needed, and the 12a tail shaft will not fit on the S5 transmission with the balancer on it? And removing it will not mess with the balance of the transmission. Yes?
