If you read my last T5 post I was going to buy a non-world class T5 but changed my mind. See link below for that thread:

I did buy a rebuilt WC T5 from a V8 but the trans has no ID tag. I did mic the input shaft and it came in at 0.668 so I know I have a V8 trans. I've been looking through the T5 ID chart (link below) to try to guess my 5th gear ratio. I'm thinking its 0.68 vs. the 0.63? Anyone have an educated guess what the 5th gear ratio is? I'm wanting decent highway cruising speeds (65MPH) w/ a useable 5th gear so I hope its the 0.68. I ran through a calculator with my tire height (24.5") w/ my rear end gear of 3.55 w/ both 5th gear ratios and I'm between 1994 to 2152 RPMs. Stock 289 engine.......so what do you think?
I cant get anything done till spring and its just on my mind. Thanks!
