i have a 1989 lx 5.0..it is a manual and i have no idea what trans it is..the door sticker is missing and i havnt bought a owners manual yet..also can someone tell me what all info i can get on the car by the vin number..any info would be greatly appreciated..thanx in advance
ok i just decoded the vin and it turns out that it was a 4 cylinder car to start...how do i go through and figure out what year engine,what kind of trans,and what rear end is in it?...i really need to know cause it will be difficult buying the right parts if i dont know what im lookin for,,,thanx again
The transmission and rear axle may still have the tags on them. Look for a stamped aluminum tag on the tailshaft of the transmission. The rear axle stamped aluminum tag will be on the cover over the gears.
The rear axle will have a tag 2L73, 3L08, 3L27, 3L55, etc. The numeric part is the ratio and the L stands for limited slip or posi-track.
alright thanx guys..ill check it out and get back to you on that..and i havnt been able to completly get under the car..im gonna try n get it on the lift tonight and ill try to take some pics..thanx again
