LD-Ordie .....Since you're not sure what gear set you have in your T5, there is a very easy way to find out what ya got. Follow the instructions in the link below, and in 15 minutes or less, you will have found the 1st GEAR and the 5th GEAR (O/D) ratios. With those two ratios, we simply go to a gear chart (which I have) and find out the rest. Let us know what you find out. DD

Once you get to this site, ALSO make sure to put your cursor on the "T5 INFO PAGE" in the black band at top of page for a 'drop-down' list with quite a few T5 articles of interest.




Then, look at the pictures below of the two transmissions. Pay close attention to the 'SILVER DOLLAR'-sized round things below and to the left of the main input shaft. That is the cluster gear front bearing cup. The one on top makes the transmission a NON-WORLD CLASS (NWC) T5. The one on the bottom makes the trans a WORLD CLASS (WC) T5. Which do you have? DD
