found a... May 28, 2009, 03:04:06 PM I just got a 2.3n/a and 5-speed trans from a mustang for $80 bucks. The cool thing is it has a mechanical clutch instead of the hydro. I didnt think 2.3 Mustangs had those? I LOVE Craigslist :D Quote Selected

I used a Gen 1 clutch master with the TC slave.And yes, the NA 2.3 T5's are the same as those used on the 2.3Ts. To know what you really have, look up the code on the tag on the case. Quote Selected

Reply #6 – May 28, 2009, 08:21:20 PM My bad the trans is still a world class if it's 85-on,however according to parts stores on the net there are different part #'s for some of the parts contained within the turbo and non turbo t5's.This would mean that they are in fact different.Here is one parts listing i got off the net,there are many more for different parts in the trans:Ford Borg-Warner T5 "World Class" 5sp, 4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl 85-on Alum Case. Cast "13-52", Fiber Rings. Uses LM48548/LM48510 Input Bearing. BK149 BK149WS Borg-Warner T5 "World Class" 4cyl Turbo & 4cyl EFI, 5sp 86-on Alum Case. Cast "13-52", Fiber Rings.
