Hmm...

Output shaft diameter and spline pattern is larger on turbo models than the nonturbo. This means the driveshaft front yoke is also different. The turbo and automatic transmissions share the larger front yoke/output shaft pattern, while the nonturbo is smaller.
WAIT a sec... S if you do a NA to Turbotranny swap, can you use the AUTO's driveshaft for it to work with the NA diff. housing?

4) driveshaft from 5 speed nonturbo
11) nonturbo 86-91 5 speed transmission.
Ok, that proves it! you can use a T2 tranny with an NA rear end if you use an Auto axle... at least "mating up" wise. Now i need Aaron to confirm the "length/too short issue and we're all set.

It's too short. Technically it will work but you will have less then half of the stock contact area on the slip yolk.

Mazdatrix sells a shaft specifically made to match the TII transmission to the NA rear end, or you can have a local driveshaft shop make one.
