type44- will 5kT auto tranny work in NA 5k?

The turbo trans. from a  85 turbo 5000 is different in the following:

1.    It has four planetary gears instead of three.

2.    The torgue converter had a different stall speed
       plus the turbo one has a four bolt hookup instead of
       three for the flex plate.

3.    I think the clutch disks are smaller in earlier turbo trans.

4.    The valve assembly  has different valves in it because
        it has different shift points than a NA engine.

5.    The bellhousing has notches in for the RPM and Speed
        sensors.

6.    The rear gear ratio is different.

If you can live with the above it will work .  The only thing you need
is
the flex plate from the turbo.

Hope this helps.
