Look at the front.
Is there a real bearing there or not?
I forget the exact ID but comparing a World to a reg T5 and the front bearings are different. Believe the input shaft isnt supported by a true roller type bearing on the non world class T5.

I "believe" there's a metal date tag indicating 88-92. Bolt, left side, Torx 50 (Non WC is a 21 mm 6-point). 26 spline for a V8. Seems that the 89-92 LB9 had the .73 5th gear--which is the same as the L69's--which would give a bit more grunt than the .63.
