Default 5 speed transmission ID- Part II

OK, looked at the trans last night, definitely a T5. It does say Borg Warner on the left side, but no other marking I could see except for "basic- l" up high on the left. Should there be some sort of ID number on it somewhere? If so where?
Thanks in Advance,
Scott


Fevre- here is a pic of the shifter, working on the other pics.

Thanks for the pic, that doesn't look to far outa whack. Here is one way to tell:


the plug that is circled, if it is a bolt and it says ROCKFORD on it, then its a nonWCT5, if its a TORX fastener then its a WCT5. to find out more about the differences between NWCT5`s and WCT5`s check out this sight here, http://www.5speeds.com


Sorry pic did not attach, there is a bolt on the driver side of the trans, it is the top bolt in the middle of the case.

Check this link for the pic:

Try to take a peek in the bellhousing. Non WCs have a steel plug over the counter shaft baering race, the WC's have a sealed timken tapered roller bearing there where you can see timken engraving on it.
