No way to tell from those SERIAL #s. Give us the code that reads "PLA-000XX" Something of that nature. That is the easiest way to distinguish a L3 tranny. - Darrell

 

where on the tranny are thoes codes? PLA000xx?

 

bump

 

anybody?

 

bump, anyone know how to tell if its an si tranny?

 

bump

 

They should be in the cast near the axle hole on the Main case(outer)

 

Any idea what a PL3-A000 would be?

 

A000 has a white speedo. More than likely not an Si. Counter and ring gear will tell a tale of what it is.

 

pl3-a100
pl3-a000

 

take the case off and count the number of teeth on the ring gear and counter shaft

that will tell you if it is a hf/dx/zc/ex/si tranny

hf had like a 2.x ish fd?
dx/zc were 3.88
ex had 4.058
si had a 4.25

then count the number of spines on the input shaft, that'll tell ya the year

if you figure out that it has a 3.88 final drive, chances are more than likely it is a dx tranny, but try putting a regular d series axle into the differental hole, and if it is too small, you got yourself a zc tranny (highly doubt it)


or if you dont feel like doing that, swpa each of them into your car, and record your RPM and MPH for
1st gear @ 15mph
2nd gear @ 25mph
3rd gear @ 35,45,55 mph
4th gear @ 45, 55 and 65 mph
5th gear @ 55, 65, 75 and 85

that should give you more than enough data to figure out which gear ratios you have + what tranny it is

reL3-A000

That is what I figured..It came out of an '88 HF
that someone {probably a junkyard} had put a D16a6 into,
But they used the intake manifold,exhaust,ECU
and I guess also the transmission from the HF...

 

I have a 88 hf says PL3-A000

i need to know what a PL3-A100 is I have 2

 

Open it up and count the teeth....that is the only way to find out exactly what you have.

Or swap them and record mph/rpm's and go from there....

 

so in other words you don't know what the A100 tranny is

 

Welcome to my world!! You have to open it up to find out. It is not an Si transmission though.

 

my friends si crx says A100

 

instead of looking for your serial and don't know what is was, Why didn't you just ask for the serial of the Si tranny? Make it easy and simple.

Si Tranny is PL3/3000 cast into the casing just above the fill plug.

PL3-A000 is your stock hf tranny.
