Title: 5 spd turbocoupe driveshaft
Post by: t.birdsc on November 09, 2009, 12:28:41 AM
Found a driveshaft for an 87 turbocoupe. It looks like its a better balance than the current aod one  in the 88. Would it work?

Thanks

That's the one with the HUGE damper on the front??? Due to more rotating mass, with a SO 5.0 you may notice slower acceleration...

Anyway, yes it should be fine if it's a 5 speed, AFIK the automatic A4LD TC driveshaft will not fit anything else...

10-4 that's it.  Might snag that and the rack. Got the ft springs and rear end. Guy who helped with the rear wanted the rear springs Too bad it had no rims.

You should take the the DS to a driveshaft shop, have them remove the damper then rebalance it.
