t5 trans wc or not?

how do you tell by the numbers on the trans if its a world class or not? is it a specific number or is every one different? thanks

there should be an id tag attached to it somewhere. if you find it, plug it into here and i'll let you know.

Outward most obvious signs:
On the drivers side there is a bolt where 5th/reverse are connected -- on a world class it is either a Torx or Allen. On a regular T-5 it is a standard bolt head.

On the front of the case where the countershaft is in the case (the round cap pressed into the front of the casing, semi covered by the bearing retainer sleeve...see pic): the world class is a flush looking fitting with extra thick case material around it. The non-world class has a beveled edge face and isn't reinforced around that area. Requires the use of RTV or such to seal the case.

ill see if i can dig up some numbers over the weekend on it...i've just always wondered because i have never had any problems with it and ive drag raced probably about 20 times with my car, i figured by now id have killed it...knock on wood...did any cars come factory with world class?

yeah, pretty much everything 86 and up

im guessing mine probably is then because its an original 89, the previous owner told me it was rebuilt with performance parts but who really knows....ill check the numbers tomorrow hopefully thanks again...

Yes, pretty much all of them.

Only the 83-mid 85 cars were non-WC. From 85.5 and up, they were all WC in the Mustang....even 2.3L's.

All it refers to is different bearings and 3-peice synchros for 1-4 gear. It's not any stronger...rated to 275 ft-lbs up to 1989 and 300 ft-lbs from 90+

Everyone confuses WC with Z-spec. All WC means is you have more parts to replace during a rebuild : (
