I don't have personal experience with the T5's, but I believe you need the parts for the '83 T5.
I honestly didn't think 3rd gens used Z-bars in any year or application, although I understand the early years used a cable clutch (later years were hydraulic).
You might get better information on the Transmission and Drivetrain forum.

Okay, my ignorance, first couple of years used the mechanical with Z-bar, '84-up used hydraulic.
Again, the Transmission and Drivetrain forum is a good place to go for more information, including how to convert from mechanical to hydraulic.
