I have a 1988 Turbo 5spd. How can i tell which transmission came with my car. I have looked through all my paperwork for the car and i cant seem to find it anywhere. Is there any tell tale signs by what year or engine, ect.

Should be an R154 if it's an original GTE.
Yes, it has the turbo emblem on the rear and the original window sticker says its the turbo model. I just bought the car a few weeks ago so i was not sure which it was. Thank you.

Yup, also as a backup method there should be a stiker on the driver's doorjam with a huge barcode, the VIN, Date of Manuf, Color Code, Transmission, etc. etc.

Like this:

The transmission is on the bottom of the sticker, where it says A/TM: the transmission is after the '/'

r154 has higher limits than the w58, i think the w58 maxes out at 300hp/torque? someone set me straight.
