Difference between T5 and T5Z...

Just by looking at a T5 and a T5Z, can you tell the difference? Like I said yesterday, I'm considering buying a used T5Z. I asked the guy for the number on the ID tag and he said that the tag had broken off? So, how do I know it's a T5Z just by looking at it? Thanks again for all the help

The only difference is that it will have a steel front input shaft retainer, if the tag is gone. It could also have a different od gear and 1st gear but there is no way to tell. The plain T5 has an aluminum retainer. Hope that helps!
