Once you open it up the numbers on the cluster gear will tell what gear set is in it.
2 hours to get it out eh'? Must have been takin your time.

Oh, that sucks, props to you for still doin it. Post up the number on the cluster gear once you get it apart, the number will be just after 4th gear I do believe.

well it should be a 98+ unit, I think that Tremec bought the tooling from BW in 97, and I have a 97 unit still marked BW so... that should narrow it down some. I don't know why the tag data translates to a 5.0 unit like mentioned above though, so maybe I got my facts screwed up somewhere...
It's a 2.95 Z-spec transmission...rated 330 ft-lbs.
The ID tag has the part number on it

Good trans, but not good enough i guess. What broke? Downside is you'll have to replace those parts with parts spec'ed for a 2.95 gearset. It's got a few unique parts as well, such as the Cobra pocket bearing design and a synchronized reverse
BTW...HOLY REAR TIRE BATMAN

That explains it. Sad to see a Z bite the dust, heh. You're on the right track with the Astro upgrades, looks like you need a bit more strength than even the Z can provide.

What are earth are you blathering about? He never said that. He said he broke the input retainer on the one that came with the car, so he bought that one off a guy for $200.

oh ok, i didn't catch that part. well in that case, sweet deal man! lol
as long as that tranny is in decent shape, that's one hell of a deal you got.
correct
i broke the input retainer on the trans that came with the car, i pulled it out and fixed it and put it in my 86 mustang and sold it. then bought this trans for $200 and put it in my car. now its broke.
dam, i knew it had to be a good trans because the synchros made funny noises when downshifting. like "schwweeeouuuwww" not a bad sound or anything.
not sure yet whats wrong. ill find out tomorrow. but i could put it in 3rd and let out of the clutch at a standstill and the car would stay running and not go anywhere.
tires are 28'' tall MT indy profiles. got em at a garage sale for $40
