when i bought my car i was told it had a world class t5, didn't think much of it cause i was stupid. had the car longer, decided i wasnt sure 100% if it was. i have 4.10 rear gears and my first gear tops out at like 35 mph. i was told that the 4 cyl t5 first tops out at like 15 or so mph. if this is true then isn't it safe to assume i have a world class? any opinions, gear calculators, links, etc appreciated. thanks

There is a link in the Tech sticky, that I put there 20 years ago, that will answer your questions.

Being WC has nothing to do with what it will do in 1st gear (at least not except for a few mph). I can do 35 in 1st in all of my cars and some are WC and some aren't.

I'm surprised you can wind 1st out to 35mph with 4.10's.
