Anyone know if their is a way to tell apart a regular t5 from a world class one? Or if you just have to look up the numbers on it?

There is an aluminum tag on the rear case with numbers stamped on it. It is the only way of identifying a T5 without taking it apart.

All 1985-later Mustang T-5's are world class...even the 4-bangers.


You are thinking Z-spec
