Turbo tranny into N/A???

will a turbo tranny work with an N/A? It's an '88 N/A GXL. Anyone have experience with this setup? Any known problems? Thanks.

Wondering the same thing... I know the drive shaft would have to be changed or modified, but what else?

in a reply from an email I got from mazdatrix here is the stuff I would need to replace

flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, driveshaft with the automatic version (or use the rear end from the turbo) and the front balancer.
I will check to see if I missed anything

Starter...although with some fabrication I believe you can still use the NA starter. The mounting points are slightly different I think.

Starter, clutch slave cylinder.

Front balancer? On the engine? Uhhhh... NO, I don't think that is right.

sorry was in a hurry trying to get back to work
but you do need the counterbalance if you replace the flywheel right? and if you go TII tranny you need the new flywheel
if I am wrong just let me know please
