you gonna rebuild it yourself? Tranny rebuilding is an art. If you are good with those 5000 piece puzzles then you would probably be good with tranny rebuilding.

As far as identifying a tranny, this explains it. http://www.5speeds.com/t5/
I doubt you can find a "new" tranny for a 4 cyl. but I may be wrong. Just have yours rebuilt by a professional. If you really want to learn how to do it, buy a used one and rebuilt it yourself and then replace yours. Used 4 cyl trannys go for cheap because there are so many of them. Don't do it twice. I just finished pulling my engine a tranny a couple of hours ago. The engine was easy, the tranny is a PITA.
