t5 identification

[stang0f87]

i think i just got screwed on ebay. bought a t5 that came out of a 92. the input shaft is smaller than that of the old tranny i pulled from my 87 gt. i checked out some sites. i looked at some websites and i'm sure its a world class according to some number marks. did they make world class trannys for 4 cylinder mustangs? the identification tag isn't there. ofcoarse those numbers/letters didn't do any good when i tried to look them up on my 87 tranny. any suggestions?

ahh. an idea just occurred to me. maybe ford just used the same case in all its trannies even if they weren't world class. like 4 bangers maybe. could anyone shed some light on that?

Ford didn't put the world class tranny in the 4cyls. It could possible be from another vehicle other then a mustang. I don't really know.

What do you mean by smaller? The input shaft is shorter or pilot bearing is smaller OD?

I Believe Borg Warner introduced the T5 as "World Class" in 1985 this did infact include the 4 cylinder. The tranny comes in many formats and revisions.

all the V8 T5s are interchangable from 1983 until 1993, then in '94 the input shaft changed. (i just put a 92 in my '83)

The input shaft on 4 cylinder T5's is different from the 8 cylinder T5. It mikes out at .590", where the 8 cylinder is .668".

The first gear is different too. Put the trans in 1st, and turn the input shaft. If you turn it almost 4 turns, to get 1 turn on the output, it is a 4 cylinder trans. If you get 3 1/4 turns or less to get 1 turn on the output shaft, it is a 8 cylinder trans.

The 94 up input shafts are longer and 87-93 four cylinders have a slightly different input shaft than the v8. you probably have a 4 cylinder out a 92. All the markings on the case are the same and start out with something like 1352........
