Just wondering what manual tranny is in a '87 stang? 'cuz I've bought a manual tranny from a junkyard, and they told me that it was a '87 tranny,
it is a borg wargner,

I'm asking that, because it seems to get 4 speed instead of 5, and I just ask for a 5 speed at this damn JY...

thanks!

Maybe they sold you an SROD, like 351 said, Push down on the shifter a little bit and see if it slides up to the top left for reverse.

It says Borg Warner on the side? or Did they just tell you its a BW Trans?

If it really is a BW its defintatlly a 5spd.

Never heard of a 4 speed Mustang tranny in an 87.

it says BW in the left side... so it is a 5 speed, and I also notice that the tranny doesn't have any oil in it.. and I also found the ******* reverse.. it is on the right side, and to the back...
