i just got my 89 saleen clone and ive been dickin around doing small stuff ie o2 sensors, oil and filter change, msd coil and wires, plugs etc. anyway i had the car up on a lift and was looking at the trans and the cross member which looks to be stock (crossmember) so i wanted to replace the mounts and the crossmember itself. now heres the thing the guy i bought it from said it had a new tko in it so how do i tell if it really is a tko or just a t5 so i know which crossmember to buy? someone school me on foxbody transmissions and all the hardware that is associated with the driveline please.

if you move it side to side in neutral and it makes the clunking, its a stock transmission. If not its some sort of tremec.
