Just bought a 90 GT that was converted by the previous owner from auto to manual. I am not sure what car the T5 came out of. Are there any differences in the clutches between T5 transmissions? There is no ID on the tranny for me to identify it. I will most likely go with the FRPP king cobra clutch. Any help would be appreciated.

Nope no difference but the flywhel was smaller up until 1986 but It probabbly has the right flywheel so just buy the king cobra it will work..

Right the previous owner probably did the swap correctly and so any typical 10-spline Stang clutch will work for you.

I personally don't care a great deal for the King Cobra.
I don't like an overly stiff clutch pedal ... especially in stop and go traffic.
I've always prefered spending the extra cash and getting the Centerforce clutches for a street car.

Although the holding power was always good up to 300+ horses on street tires.

Make sure you have the flywheel resurfaced if you don't replace it.
