There were no 5 speeds available in the 80-86 model years. The 4 speeds available were: New Process 435, Borg Warner T-18, some crappy 4 speed overdrive SROD I think it was called. Those are the only ones I can think of right off hand.

I know the NP435 has an aluminum top cover, I don't believe the T-18 does.

yeah, I found out they both have non-syncho 1st& reverse. I guess the t-18 slopes up in the bottom, and the np435 is flat. and has the aluminum cover..

Whatever tranny is in my (former) '84 must be a good one as it has about 200,000 miles on it and still works great. Had one fluid change back at about 95,000 miles where we drained it and refilled it with 10w40 motor oil which has been in there since. THe 10w40 made it much easier to shift on cold mornings. It was a 4speed with OD that had ratios: 3.01, 1.78, 1.00, and 0.71 with a 2.47 rear end. Never towed with it though.

The T-18 has a cast cover and has a 1st gear of 6:12 atleast that is the set up that my T-18 has...as far as I know the T-19 has the 6:32 first gear
The M50D was better then the ZF in My opinion..and I am just a Redneck so what does it matter LOL
