Short answer not easily, you could put a a s4 s5 na tranny in there, but the bellhousing and flywheel are larger on the t2 tranny, also the start is further out on the bellhousing IIRC.

yeah you need a t2 sized aftermarket flywheel, clutch, starter. then you get to custom fab a trans mount, and driveshaft.



people do it all the time

TII trans, starter, u can use 12a flywheel pressure plate you need to modify the bell housing. I have a TII trans mounted to a 12a in a 79 glc. it works

12A tranny holds up fine as long as you dont abuse the **** out of it.
