To find out what kind of transmission you have, you need to look at the transmission itself. Here are a few ways:
* Look for casting numbers on the transmission case: The transmission case itself will have casting numbers. These numbers, when researched online (using sites like Ford parts websites or transmission specific forums), can help identify the exact transmission model.
* Check your VIN: Your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) will contain the information about the original transmission installed at the factory. You can use online decoding tools or contact a Ford dealership with your VIN to get this information.
* Examine the transmission physically: Different transmissions have distinct physical characteristics. Experienced mechanics can often identify the transmission type by visual inspection. For example, the T5, T45, and T56 have different bellhousing bolt patterns and overall shapes.
* Look at your build sheet (if available): If you have the original build sheet for your Mustang, it will clearly list the transmission.
Once you determine the transmission type (T5, T45, or T56), you can then use part number 1352097913 to locate the specific component that it refers to within the context of that particular transmission. You can use online parts databases or contact a transmission specialist or parts supplier.
