Rear end drivetrain questions
Ok guys i just ave a few questions. I'm doing a turbo swap on my car but I don't have the money for an engine rebuild quite yet. I wanted to prep my car for the engine.
My car is an 86 automatic 4 lug base model. I have a s4 t2 tranny and driveshaft and I want to convert my car from an auto now and do a 5 lug conversion to get ready for the engine.
I wanted to know what exactly I need to do.
I know I need a t2 rear end but do I also need the half shafts? What rear end components will I have to have?
Also I was going to buy an oem clutch but all I have is the tranny no counter weight or anything? What is everything that is needed to connect the transmission to an na engine and for the whole auto to 5 spd conversion?
Thanks any and all info helps.

If you use the TII differential you need the TII half shafts. I've got the links for all your other questions on my computer at home so I'll try to post those up if someone doesn't beat me to it.

TII Clutch slave cylinder, Clutch master cylinder/pedal assembly, TII clutch, TII flywheel, TII transmission, TII driveshaft, TII differential, TII half shafts. Also need to custom mod the transmission mount to work on the Auto Chassis. (yes welding is required).
Best bet is to cut your losses and find a manual 5 lug rolling shell and swap everything over, only then will it be a bolt on affair. (and the way i would do it, if i didn't have the tools to fab a mount, in which i do lol)
Don't toss your auto counterweight since you can use it if you go with a lightweight TII flywheel or sell it to someone who is going that route for a good chunk of change. **And your auto driveshaft will work for a TII trans with a N/A rear setup **
** I think...** Oh and search function is your best friend..

that is a neat little fact, where did you come up with that?
