The ID tag is the only way I know how to do it without pulling it appart.

There are a few different online T5 ID tag decoders, enter the tag information into 1 of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg-Warner_T-5 T-5 transmission cross reference, applications. Find your junkyard candidate here.

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/349.shtml T-5 gearing, torque rating, code conversion, and junk yard candidates here.

http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/products/T-5.asp More general industry specs. I wonder if a non-Ford application could be economically made to work.
