All of the 230 hp TPI 305s came with 5-speeds and 3.42 gears. But some 205 hp 305s came with 5-speeds as well. They were both called LB9. If you have 3.42 gears you have the 230 hp version. The 8th digit in the VIN would be an "F" for the LB9. Look under the center console lid and look for a RPO code GU6 for the 3.42 gears.
