I have a 69 GT 350 that I purchased last summer.  I've had a few Mustangs over the years but this is my first Shelby and I am still finding my way.  It originally came with a four speed wide ratio transmission data plate code 5.  During the restoration of the car in the mid 80s a 5 speed Doug Nash transmission was installed.  Its great fun to drive and I enjoy the 5 speed but am considering finding an original transmission and putting the car back to the way it came.  My questions;  I have read that the wide ratio trans was not a popular transmission, why was that?  And any advice on where to start looking for that transmission?  Thanks.

Picked up my first Shelby this summer, 69 GT 350. 481109.  An older restoration but well done.  The quarter panel sail emblem was left off.  In starting my research I have seen 69-70 GTs with and without the emblem.  What is correct for my car?
