I was wondering how I can tell if I have a Turbo drivetrian. I just bought the car about 3 weeks ago. The guy I bought it off of said it had a TII drivetrian, everything but the motor/harness/ecu. I was wondering if there are any engravings or marks to let me know if its true. I haven't got it on the lift yet. I'll be RTV'ing the oil pan while its up their. Let me know please.



thanks-

Rich

 

The turbo tranny has what it looks like "drain pan" (a very thin one)



Scroll the the two tranny pics, and you can see this thin drain pan:

Quick and easy is to check wether or not you've got a 3 piece tranny casing rather than a 2 piece.

 

ok, i was more interested in the rear end. my friends 88 gxl had LSD tag on the pumpkin. I still need to get under it to check everything. Winter sucks, especialy if you dont have a garage.

 

T2 trans has 2 drain plugs,

NA only has 1

 

I thought that the turbo II tranny wont work with a N/A engine because.... The turbo II tranny has 23 splines when the N/A tranny has 22 splines.... unless they rebuilt the engine and put a turbo E-shaft in it..



As for the rear end.. If you don't wanna get under the car to check, Can't ya just do a burn out to see if it has a LSD????

 

The splines are in the center of the clutch disc, not the rear of the e-shaft. You have to use the larger diameter clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel with the T2 trans.



NA and T2 e-shafts are identical, they have the same part number.

 

WOW good to know!!!

I wonder why I never thought of that!!

 

The TII driveshaft is much beefier than the NA one, so it is easy to identify TII drivetrain from that. Found this picture of TII rear end to compare to yours :

 

thank you very much guys. I did a burn out a couple days ago, and it spun both fairly easily for an N/A. I was wondering what the F was going on. lol.



thanks agian for the help dudes!
