why u want to fit one in again ?
if u got a t2, it'll pretty much bolts right in
if its N/A simple answer is "it wont fit"
i mean u can "make" a FD tranny fit in the n/a, u can even make the t-56 6 speed in there
its a $$$ issue

I'm pretty sure some changes are needed. For one I believe the FD slave cylinder is a pull type as opposed to push. You'd probably need the FD flywheel/clutch.

The FD transmission is in fact a pull type. The slave cylinders still function the same, however.

And the lack of the PPF makes it a bitch to mount in the FC.

forget the FD tranny, there is no benefit to running one, only headaches in trying to make it work.

Aren't there internal improvements to the syncros over a TII version?

opposite actually, the 2nd gen trannies have dual cone syncros however the 5th gear syncro is just as weak as the FD's.


just because it is newer doesn't mean it is better.
