Is this a WC or non WC t5? All I've researched says non WC. A friend gave it to me and swears its out of an 88 Iroc. If its not, maybe someone swapped it out somewhere along the way with a non WC,,. Since I'm not familiar with these and a lot of people here know these very well I thought I would confirm. Thanks

 

Looks NWC to me.

 

Here is the whole trans,,

 

Looks like the paper tag is still on the inspection cover, clean it off and get the number

 

Looks like WG 13-52-???. Can't read the rest.

 

Ok I figured out how to make your pic larger. That is a NWC. The tag is 1352-0XX which also says NWC to me

Here is the 2 front bearing races left is NWC



The 0 also makes me think it is out an 85 or earlier

Does it have the ID tag?

 

I don't see an I'd tag. Would've been good to get a WC for free. I don't know that ill attempt to use this.

 

I used a NWC t5 for a while with no issues until I got a good deal on a WC. Then I sold the NWC to pay for most of the WC.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

That's 1st design.

Note in the pic how somebody has tried to seal the front countergear bearing, and the sealer has torn itself out of the crack. This is absolute positive certain take-it-to-the-bank undeniable definite PROOF that the transmission is destroyed, by way of the case being stretched across the front and that big hole being an oval, and it leaks, and somebody has tried to seal it, and of course that won't work, and it has failed. The PO knows this. The fact you don't mention that you have been told the trans is no good tells me that you've been misled to expect too much.

The transmission will leak out the front. It will be noisy, if not right away, it won't take long; in the meantime, you'll have to put oil in it a lot, and it will be noisy. But that's OK as long as it works good. Just DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER let it run out of oil!!!! Check it regularly and keep it full, and even though it might smell bad and keep your rear bumper funky at all times, at least you'll be driving instead of riding the bus.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about. I was happy to get a bunch of free parts. This came from a car that was parted out. My friend kept or sold other parts. He wanted the trans but thought I would benefit to help with the build. If its bad he doesn't know it.

On another thread in convertibles, I started a build that will take me awhile. The car is at the paint shop right now. Thanks for the feedback.

 

So, I just bought a T5 and it's suppose to be WC. I hope it is. It has the WC seal by the front input shaft. Here is a pic, ill post more tomorrow. What do u think?

 

Yes that one is 2nd design.

It's not a "seal"; it's a bearing. The front countergear bearing to be precise.

 

"Bearing", got it thanks. Im not sure if i need to start another thread or not to offer the other transmission for sale. If anyone is interested in the NWC transmission send me an offer. Thanks

 

Sold.
