83's also came with the standard T-5, and the SROD as an option (dunno why anyone would want it, but it was an option)

Gear materials were upgraded. It made the trans stronger. Torque rating increased from 265 to 300 ft-lbs.

Slight change in gear ratios as well and it got the 8 tooth speedo gear instead of the 7 tooth

So If I had a 10 inch clutch still will I able to use one of those T-5s in my car and still retain me same clutch (its new, otherwise I would upgrade)? Also are the gears that were changed lower or higher?
