i know that the T5's had different ratios depending on the model of car it came out of so is there a way of identifying which box is which just by looking at the box externally? e.g. seriel numbers etc?

that i've found but is that a part number for the box which will differentiate which box it is or is it a part number for the casing?

I6 T5 Transmissions produced after Jul92 (couple of months into the EBII series) have a revised reverse inhibitor spring, reverse synchro, revised synchro friction material and revised gear ratios.
Best way to tell these apart from the earlier boxes is to look for a 'roofing nail type head' sitting rearwards and down from the reverse switch (LHS of gearcase). This is the mounting point for the reverse inhibitor spring - the gearcase is drilled and tapped to accomodate this, the earlier boxes have a long coil spring to achieve same.

There may be a part number tag on the drivers side top corner drivers bolt that holds the extension housing to the gear case.
If it has a part number starting with 87DA, its an EA to EB1 box... If its 92DA is an EB2 box... If its a 94DA its an EF box (same as EB2, but revised syncros I believe). Don't take these as gospel though, as the tag is easily swapped, but it helps in making a quick identification. |

NP.
The problem with these boxes are their age and mileage - you'll most likely find they've been stripped down - I've got 2 EA boxes with 87DA/90DA tags, and a later box with a 91DA tag. Changing to the later ratio setups is reasonably easy by changing the input shaft/countergear set, and pressing a tapered bearing onto the mainshaft - so a trans shop can do that depending on spares available to them at the time. Adding reverse synchro is similar situation. The synchro ring design was pretty much similar - main diff is the addition of differing fibre material to the inner - the earlier rings kept the bare machined/ribbed brass. An additional telltail way is to mark the input/output shafts, select 1st gear, spin the output shaft, and note how many times the input shaft rotates - 3.5 is XF/EA/EBI, 3.25 is EBII and later.
