Tranmission Swap
I have an 87 tII and will need to soon change the tranny (grinding through gears). I was wondering if i need to buy a tII s4 tranny or will a tII s5 swap fine? thanks for the help.

On turbos the S4 & S5 are a direct swap.

The Turbo tranny ratios are slightly higher: 68 in 5th at 3500 vs 74 with the NA.
