Reportedly there are three different TH700R4 cases.
 +
*There is a case with no markings, it is the weakest and should be avoided for high performance duty
 +
There is an '''MD8''' case, it's considered suitable for most performance duty
 +
*Then there is the '''K''' case, it is the strongest TH700R4 case
 +
These marking (if any) are found cast into the bellhousing on the passenger side.
