Hey everyone,
I am currently building a nice first gen gsle car with a turbo II motor. My question, will the stock shifter of a turbo II trans fit into the stock hole for a first gen trans? (ie will the shifter **** be in the same place?) I can build the trans mounts and engine mounts easy enough, but I don't want to have to redo the interior of my car to fit the stronger trans.

Does anyone have examples of putting a s5 13 bt turbo II motor and trans in a first gen gsle?

Thanks
Greg

 

welcome to the club. the shifter form am 84-88 will interchange for those years. 81-83 will be the same so on and so forth

 

you can get it to fit correctly or you can cut out some of the hole and have it fit but it will be a little off center. check out the thread called "cronicals of a TII swap" he made mounts to do it correctly.

also you will have to modify your driveshaft to fit the TII trans. that is also covered in the thread.

 

Thanks
Greg
