do i have to get a custom driveshaft? or will the stock 1st gen shaft mate right up with a FC trans?



oh, its N/A, not a TII...

RE_TurboFB 06-09-2008 11:43 PM

I'm pretty sure you don't need a custom drive shaft the stock 12A drive shaft should work fine, And of course the 13B N/A tranny bolts right up to a 12A with out any problems....



But you do have to modify the way the tranny mounts a bit... ( But you prolly know that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR )

only real difference is the trans mounts.



86-88 look close, maybe slot the bolt holes, worst case you put the 81-85 tailshaft housing on



89-91 is weird, you have to fab something.

The big dif is the shifer will be in the wrong place.

cool, now i just have to figure out what clutch/pressure plate to use when i mount this up to my renesis...and flywheel too

U can just bolt on a fb tail housing. Then u can use fb cross member and drive shaft. Also u dont have to hack up any thing. I have done this with 86-88. I think the cases are the same 89-91

RE_TurboFB 06-15-2008 08:16 PM

Does anyone know for sure if you can swap a 81-85 tail housing in place of the 89-91 trannys...????

RE_TurboFB 07-08-2008 10:33 PM

So is it that easy... Just swap out the tail housings..??? Or are there other parts that need to be swapped also..??? (Shift forks or any thing???) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif
