Re: a/t interchange question

Well, the axles are different turbo & n/a. So, you should be able to tell. As far as
year interchange, I've heard sworn testimony on both sides. My belief is that an 85
will work. I've heard that you need to change the trans cooler. Later cars with MC
engines may have had different wiring or speedo sensor or god knows what.
