Logoleaf Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hey guys, Im looking to swap my n/a trans with a t5 but i have a few questions regarding for the drive shaft. 1. Do i also need to swap out my drive shaft with a turbo ones? 2. Is there any mods to the mounting cross member? 3. Are both of the trans has the same splines on the out put shaft? 4. Are they using the same speedo wheel? Thanks everyone! Kevin, Thanks every one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a 1983 zx. N/a manual. Everything are stock. I can't help with the driveshaft questions, as I use a gForce gearset and had to do a custom driveshaft anyway. However, if you have a zx, you should be able to re-use your crossmenber - the crossmember mounting points were different between the two transmissions, but the crossmember was designed with an offset that split the difference. Install with the offset forward for one, flip it around with the offset rearward for the other. Also the same speedo cable should work with either trans.

madkaw Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yes you have to use the T5 shaft and shorten it by an inch or so. Or have DS made . You ALSO have to have the diff flange from the turbo drivetrain . It's a dedicated DS , so everything has to match . The shifter will also be in a different spot in the console . Lots of info out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
