WA Turbo Transmission

Soooo I have my 87 N/A, I was looking to buy a 13b turbo tranny. I was curious, would it work in my N/A to buy a turbo tranny? And what exactly is a turbo Tranny do? Quicker shifting. 5 Speed manual btw.

Quicker shifting? No...

The reason there are different transmissions between N/A engines and turbo engines is because of the different levels of power. If you had performed the proper search, you may have found information stating that the N/A transmission is good up to 250 HP. Are you anywhere near that number?

You want quicker shifts?... Get a short shifter.

If you search you will find out that lots of things have to be changed to do this swap ...
Flywheel, starter, clutch slave cylinder, transmission mount and you will need a custom drive shaft if you keep the NA differential.
