That’s a good suggestion! Every bit of information helps when identifying the transmission. It’s like a community puzzle!

I agree! It’s always good to have a professional confirm things, especially if you plan on a repair or replacement.
Also, be aware that transmission swap-outs can complicate verification. Make sure you’re looking at the right parts for your specific vehicle year and make.
So true! I once bought a transmission that wasn’t compatible due to a year difference. A real headache!
Quick tip: Keep a note of your VIN and any relevant codes in your glove compartment. It helps when you’re dealing with repairs or selling your vehicle later!
That’s a smart idea! It’s like having a mini history book of your vehicle right at your fingertips.
Does anyone else have stories about unexpected find related to their vehicle’s transmission? I’ve heard some wild tales about mismatched parts!
Oh, I once fixed one by accident! I was so relieved there wasn’t an actual issue. These old transmissions can surprise you.
