I know I've seen this somewhere before but I'm short on time right now. What is it that tells you if a T5 is a World Class or not? I'm pulling my broken one out and I wanna make sure the shop that I got it at a couple years ago didn't screw me over. I have reciepts and everything saying I paid for a World Class and if its not one I'm taking this one and throwing it at them, ha. Any help is apprciated. Thanks.

The quickest external check is to look at the counter-shaft bearing cup, just below the bearing retainer. It it is of the roller bearing type, with Timken engravings you have a WC T5.

Pretty much everything made after 1985 was World Class. People often confuse the WC T5 with the Z-spec T5. They are not really the same thing though. Here's some more background info:
