78' 4 speed identification
My 78' Borg Warner 4 speed is stamped with the characters WF 2782. Which transmission is this standard or close ratio? All the books I have only show Muncie ID codes.

Re: 78' 4 speed identification (Duke94)
I checked every reference in my Corvette library and couldn't find anything specific in differentiating the wide & close ratio Borg-Warner trans. in 1978.
All L48's with 4 speeds got the Saginaw. L82's with 3.36 rear gear ratio got the wide ratio. The 3.70 rear gears could have a wide or close ratio tranny. If you got the L82 with 3.70's, I'm sorry this won't help much.

Re: 78' 4 speed identification (JK78SA)
Thanks for trying, I had the same problem. I must have a half dozen books, and none of them even mention the Borg Warner trans.....odd.
