Turbo Trany in NA Car?

Can I put a Turbo II tranny in my 89' NA? Is anything different like drive shaft, mount, or clutch. Thanks for the help.

everything is different. Uses a different starter, mounts, clutch, flywheel, clutch slave, drive shaft, rear end, rear half shafts

You may wish to use use the search function found in the upper right hand corner of the page next time, as thsi has been covered quite a few times

Hey Icemark while your here could you tell me the best way to install a turbo on my motor? Will doing that help me with this odd hesitation I've been having at 3800 RPM's?

And btw, I wanna put S5 tail lights on my S4 but I need to know if they'll fit. Which reminds me I need someone to tell me what kind of bulbs I have in my headlights!

Thanks!

Let's just close down the entire forum altogether and just make it an entire encyclopedia of facts that people should only search for since everything has aparently been covered before.

you can get a turbo flywheel and tranny bolt them up to the engine and such, and use an automatic driveshaft, to bolt to the N/A rear end, (limited slip or not) and everything should fit in.

i used a non turbo flange welded to a turbo driveshaft with no balancing and the car didnt wobble or shake. costed 70 bucks to get welded.

what about that only about half of the flange goes into the tranny when using a auto driveshaft and a turbo tranny and non turbo rear end???

bad advice... well unless you don't care that half the flange is not into the tranny
