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

[Stephen Bigelow]

I'm running a turbo trans in my 84 5kS. 

No troubles at all.....frankly, I can't notice any driving differences between the two, other than my "new" one has a reverse gear!

  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.

    will the auto tranny from a 85 5kT work in a '86 5k NA? 
    or for that matter will it work in a '86 5kT?
