I got so many conflicting reports about the steel retainers, I don't know what the deal is. I decided I didn't feel like buying one to find out if it would fit or not. I was also confused by the fact that 2.3 Mustangs and Turbo Coupes had the same transmission, yet everyone told me a steel retainer wouldn't fit a turbo coupe transmission while some people said they had used one on a Mustang tranny.
