T5 world class?

Is the transmission out of a 1991 pontiac firebird 5.0 a T5 or a T5 WC? I ordered a kit on KDSperformance.com and it said 149 and change, now this guy switched my order to a T5 WC because he claims a 1991 tranny is a T5 WC?? Any help is appriciated, thanks

Yes, a 91 would be the 2nd design. 87-up.

I can't bring myself to utter that stupid 5-minute-management-guru "total quality" buzzword, it makes me hurl just to see it in print. I greatly prefer to call them 1st design and 2nd design.

I love my world class!!!! It can handle sooooo much more torque than the 'REGULAR' T5.


HAHAHA

Is it really only capable of 30ftibs more?

I certainly doesn't look or feel any stronger, that's for sure.

The t56 looks like two t5's!!!
