ok,well stupid question im planning on gettin on a 88t2..and he says the trans makes noises..well um..he dosent know what the noises are but i may just swap it out for another one,and chances are i wont be able to find a t2 in my area,i just wanted to know if a NA tranny will fit? i know they bolt up to the same engine and all,but they have diffrent gears,,someone help!

 

Yeah I heard it works, but don't do it they made a turbo II and a n/a tranny for a reason, I have a 87TII and my tranny started going out and found a S5TII tranny that works perfect for less than 150.00 on ebay, keep searching go visit junk yards ect. you may have to drive a little outwards

 

ok,so it will work,cuz if the trans craps out on me,im gunna need a new one FAST untill i can find a newer one...thanx

 

Yeah I have no experience doing this, but I read before you need a na clutch, flywheel, driveshaft, starter, because the people that did turbo trannies on a na engine had to get a turbo flywheel, starter ect. and maybe some other parts try a search as to some one thats done it

 

sure you could do it, but its a waste. the NA tranny wont hold up too well...you gotta change flywheel clutch disk/pressure plate, driveshafts. clutch master cylnder if i remember correctly, starter. a lot of stuff...enough that its not worth it. also a special tool for the flywheel bolt, cause its fucken big.

and in the end you wont be happy with what you get, cause the tranny wont last as long, and you had to spend as much money on replacing all of the parts that you mine as well had have just gotten a t2 tranny. The S4 tii trannies are nearly the same price as a S4 NA tranny. now if you have the extra money go buy a s5 t2 tranny...but those are a little harder to find.

search theres a good bit of info about this. look up threads on my name. i asked a similar question, just backwards, NA to T2 and i got ALL of the info that i needed.

 

No, don't recommend it.
In a very short while, you're going to have a dead NA trans to go with your bad original one.
If you can't fix it, dump the car.

lol
so get the car,and get a new trrans and wait for it to explode!

 

no get the car and trans put the new one in, and slowly save money to rebuild older one that way you got an extra, or sell it
