Hey guys,

Is there a way to tell if a fox is 5-speed or automatic just by looking at the v.i.n ? Thxs

The transmission code is actually on the door tag and not in the vin

T = Auto
2 = Manual

You can go to www.mustanggt.org and use their VIN decoder to learn about your car.

...uh, there's a way to tell what transmission it ORIGINALLY came with. Of course, those things have been known to change along the way.

I wonder why "T" and "2"? Why not "1" and "2" or "S" and "T"......

I haven't been able to figure out the coding convention either.
