Will a t2 tranny fit in a 86 gxl.
this is my 3rd to go out in 18 months,trying to upgrade the tranny

 

I do not think so, clutch sizes are different. Most likely a way to modify to fit though. Different driveshaft too I beleive.

 

You can bolt it on yes. But the drive shaft is not the same because they are different lengths so you will need either a custom drive shaft or an Auto tranny drive shaft. I beleive you have to keep the flywheel/clutch the same as the engine. BTW I have an auto drive shaft for sale PM me for details.

flywheel is engine specific and clutch is tranny specific.

 

well ****,I guess I am little fucked here.I have a fairly new bonez street comp clutch and a bonez aluminum flywheel.To much money to just toss to the side.

 

why are you going through n/a trannies like i go through glasses of water?

 

you camel!

 

i'm in this too... i wanna TII tranny.

 

projekt, so are you saying that a RB lightwheight flywheel for an 88 na will work with an S5 TII clutch/PP?

 

You would need a turbo starter, halfbreed driveshaft, and the turbo transmission mount. Thats not counting the flywheel/pressure plates parts.

EDIT: and not counting the trubo slave cylinder.

 

so you NEED a turbo flywheel? i'm a bit confused on that part, because i thought it wouldn't fit the motor...

 

I think that the contact area is of a different size for n/a and turbo. This is why you have to have a turbo flywheel for a turbo tranny.

 

i see. that's actually better for me beacause now i can sell my LW flywheel and just get a resurfaced stock one.

thank you

 

When I was doing my tranny swap I read that you keep the flywheel the same, try searching for it.

 

yeah, i did search.. and i'm still getting confused.

i need a definate answer.

sorry to thread hijack.

-edit... trainwreck, did you use the same flywheel? or did you get a TII one?

 

Is there a noticable difference with a light weight flywheel or are you better off investing the money in something else to give you power?

 

honestly, i would be happier with a stock FW... but that's just me.

 

I was most likely wrong about the flywheel.
