Do I have a Tremec?

[nos707]

I bought an LX fox off my buddy. It has a massive 5" ally drive shaft.

I looked at the trans underneath the car but it is hard to make out any numbers. I do see the tremec logo on the tail housing though. The metal tag has 13 52 208 which I found is a 92 5.0 WC. But is this a factory WC or hads someone fitted a tremec 3550 or TKO?

Did the 92 LX have a WC from the factory with a tremec logo on?

Tremec is just a brand name. There are 6 or 7 tranmissions that install in a Mustang that Tremec makes.

Around 1997, Tremec bought borg warner and the rights to the t-5. So after that, any T-5 was built with Tremec logos on it.

A 1992 t-5 should still have borg warner on it.


Pics would help ID it

Im sure I can see the tremec logo on the tail housing.

It's hard to see when it is in the car with the exhaust running under it.

Any other ways of identifying without pulling it out?

Well if you caint read the tag on the trans,then pull the shifter boot and count how many bolts hold the shifter onto the trans.The tremacs has 6 shifter bolts,the t-5 has 4. Here is a picture of both trans,ALL T-5's look like this ,but some tremacs look a touch diffrent.

Borge warner T-5

Nice tip John!

I'll check out the shifter!

It just seemed strange having such a large ally driveshaft on a factory trans.

The car is also procharged with a p600b so I guess the trans was repaced at some point!

I have a large AL driveshaft with a stock T-5. Nothing strange about it really. A lot of guys do

 

[Strype]

I bought a world class years ago and it only had 4 bolts

 

[Mustang5L5]

That's all it should have. It's a t-5

 

[Strype]

Oh I knew that...


But it had Tremec and BW written on it


k I'm going now

 

[SMOKEDYA]

only a true tremac tremac has 6 bolts. A T-5 tremac has 4.It might be hard to see the front 2 bolts on the tremac if it is one.As Mustang5L5 said nothing strange about a larger then normal drive shaft. Espically if it's a alumn one. peace

But it could also be a:

Tremec TKO
Tremec TKO 500
Tremec TKO 600
Tremec T-56
Tremec T-45
Tremec T-5
Tremec T-3650
Tremec T-6060

And possibly an older Tremec T-3550

But it could also be a:

Tremec TKO 600
Tremec T-56
Tremec T-45
Tremec T-5
Tremec T-3650
Tremec T-6060

And possibly an older Tremec T-3550

Any other way to determine the model aside from the tag? Mine doesn't have the tag. It has the 6 shifter bolts.

 

[SMOKEDYA]

Yes there is other then the tag,do you have pics? The t45's 56's and other are diffrent looking then the TKO's and sp forth.Is yours a 5 or 6 speed? peace

No pics. From what I've seen it's not a T45 because of the 6 shifter bolts instead 4.
