I looked in the FAQs and it says the 1352-199 is. I have a metal tag hanging off one bolt that says 1352-199. But there are numbers on the body (13-52-065-908 and shifter box area (13-52-066-939).

It'd be easy to hang a tag on it and say it was a world class. Do the numbers one the case and shifter area say otherwise?

Those cast-in numbers are just that, casting numbers. They mean nothing as to what the trans is.

OEM WC T5Z have 3.35 first gears vs 2.95 non WC. Put it in gear and count the turns.

Steve,
The T-5Z has a 2.95 first gear. The term "World Class" has nothing to do with gear ratios. Check out www.5speeds.com , click on T-5 5 speeds on the side bar to get a history of the T-5 trans.

I took this from a 1999 article in Super Ford mag...

" While all T5 transmissions have "XXX" as the last three digits of the ID number, the middle three digits "000" identify World-Class and Non-World_Class transmissions. The World-Class trannies (1352-000-XXX) will be one of the following: 114-116; 126; 134; 141; 155; 162; 165; 167-169; 174-177; 184; 194-200; 202-205; or 207. The middle three digits of the Non-World-Class trannies (1352-000-XXX) will be any other sequence. Note that this ID is for trannies up to '92. Any digits higher than 208 indicate trannies built after '92. "
