Hey guys,
I've got a 91' N/A that I'm trying to convert to TII. It's my DD also, so I've got to do bits of this at a time. Right now I'm just prepping the car to get it ready so I pretty much will just have to take the old motor/tranny out and put the new in when that weekend comes...
Enevitably, I've got a few questions.
1. Does the brand of bushings that you buy matter? Is there one polyurethane kit better than another? I think I've heard of Delrin(sp?) being better.

2a. Can I swap in just the TII rear end for the time being(differential/halfshafts/etc.), or will that not be compatible with my current N/A auto tranny(switching to manual TII)?

2b. If and when I swap the rear end in, to comphensate for the change in gearing will i need to change the speedometer?

3. Can I go ahead and swap the pedals/cyclinders/etc. to get ready for it?

4a. If I already have the glow gauges will there be any need to swap the tach.?

4b. Will the buzzer still go off at 7k rpms, instead of 8k with the swapped tII ecu?

5a. Are all TII differentials LSD?

6a. If it is a clutch type(s4) will I be able to put the rear end in without a manual transmission?

7. Since I'm already writing this huge thread.... I've got an oil leak(very, very small) currently at the oil pan, so i would obviously have to unbolt the motor to change the seal properly. Is there any other solution? (I will possibly, want to keep the motor to rebuild it and possibly buy a roller and go 6 port turbo. Compression is still 85/90.)

Thanks guys,
I'd appreciate someone even reading half of it.
Ryan.

if your switching drivetrains, you either have to do all of it or nothing. NO part of a N/A and Turbo II drivetrain match up together. that means the rear end, tranny, and driveshaft. if you swap one you have to do them all.



All Turbo II's have LSD

No, you cant mix and match with the auto tranny, if memory serves me correctly it wont even work with the turbo motor.
