T5 Identification

[pittsburgh]

I got a 82 gt with a t5 in cant find the id numbers on it. I have found the the year which is 88 stamped by the drain and fill holes .but nothing else in that area. The id tag is gone. Trying to figure out what spline it is .so i can purchase a aluminum Driveshaft.thanks.

T5 were 28 spline. In fact, all of the T5 or auto V8 cars use the same driveshaft.

If you ever upgrade to a tko trans an sn95 cobra driveshaft is what you need to buy then.

What he said. The AL driveshaft will work with all year Mustang T-5's and AODs

On the forward edge of the main case, on the passenger side, where it bolts to the clutch housing, is a partial VIN. Post it here and I will tell you what it's out of.

That does not match with anything on my chart.
The T5 may be pieced together from GM cars that used the T5.

I've heard this is true, but have yet to ever see one. I've seen the partial VIN on the block though.

I have a disassembled t5 I'll need to take a peek at. I was under impression it was last 6-8 numbers or so

 

[FoxChasis]

Last 8 of VIN (year, plant, unit number)

What i see is kf201515?

 

[Mustang5L5]

K = 1989 model year

That's for the car the t5 was placed in. Casting dates of 1988 make sense then

What you posted, which is the last eight of the VIN, means the first five is 1FABP. All that's left is the body, engine, and check digit. Body can be 40, 41, 42, 44, or 45. Engine can be A (except with 42 or 45) or E. So there would be eight possible VINs. I wrote an Excel formula that calculates the check digit if I put in the other 16 characters. Then I put each one in the home page at Carfax or Autocheck to see which one has "records".
