Use the Mustang decoder on this site. But, if you have the Marti report then that is as good as gold. I'm probably wrong on this but I thought the trans code 6 usually was for the C6 automatic. Again, take no faith in that. If the Marti report says your car came with a close ratio toploader, then it did.

As to the "...won the correct 4 spd." well that depends. If the trans tag reads RUG-AD1 and the trans hasn't been corrupted, then that would be the right trans.

If you go to this site: http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/idchart1.htm you'll see that having a close ratio toploader is no more specific than saying I have a Ford V8 engine. There were big and small shaft, small and bigblock input pilots, close and wide ratio, long and short tailhousing, and various shifter location pads to consider in whether the trans you got will fit your application as the factory intended.

Even having the tag on the trans case doesn't mean much these days. The tag could mean nothing more than what the case's original application was for. Everything else but the case could have been changed to fit another application.

This thread, so far...
