Well it is different.  The 84 is a non-WC unit and the gearing is different.  Also, the shifters might have a bit to do with it if either one is not a stock unit.

What do you mean it "feels" different?

If it's the shifter you're talking about, I heard that '87-88 TC's had a better shifter from the factory than the Mustangs did.
