Please Help ID This 5 Speed

[rzola]

I have a bonus 5 speed that came in a junker 73 240 I bought years ago. Didn't even know it was a 5 speed at first. Attached photos of the tail. Can any one tell me if it is a ZX or a 1977-78 280 model. Any help would be appreciuated! Thanks!

Check my gallery for some noticeable differences in the shifter ears for the 4 and 5 spds. But I have found a 5 spd in a '81 with the middle length ears like the early 5 spds, but a single exhaust hanger like the late 5 spds.

The pics aren't a difinitive answer for all transmissions, but it might at least let you know what year it might have come from.

Thanks Darrel. Based on your photos, I have a 77-78 trans.
