This is a pic of a 2001 ITR. You can see there is no Vin tag on the tranny.

 

I can't tell if it dos or not from the pic.

Yes, it should have a VIN tag on tranny.

:edit: If it's a replacement tranny (new) from Acura, it won't have a tag.

 

Yep, either it's stolen, or it's a factory replacement tranny.

 

or it's a JDM swap. they don't have the motor and tranny VIN tags in japan.

 

heres a response from the owner:
"Another question. Why is the Vin tag missing from the transmission?? I can see holes where the vin should be attached.."

I have only one answer for that, that's not possible since nothing has been replaced or changed from manufacture. The vin tag is where it should be.

 

i bought a new one, no vin either, the po-po questions it all the time

 

Is the person you purchased the car from the original owner? If not, its possible that he's telling the truth ruth (at least to his knowledge anyway).

Okay, so the question I have is whether the holes on the transmission are present on JDM, USDM and repleacemetn USDM transmissions?

For the people who have replacements, can you verify if they have predrilled holes?

As for the JDM trannys, I took at my JDM Del SOl Vetec swap and it has a bar code sticker and no holes. So if the tranny or exterior case is from a JDM car, it would not have holes, unless Honda made variations in manufacturing processes over the years.

Now it does seem the U.S. trannys do have tags rivetted on to the case. It would seem you have a U.S. tranny and someone drilled out the rivets for some unknown reason :cough: stealing :cough:

everyone is correct and the seller is either lying or assuming either way there is supposed to be a vin tag on that tranny.

 

i just bought a new one from a acura dealer and it does have the two holes for the vin tag, just no tag it self, so just because the holes for the vin tag are there and there isnt a tag dosn't means it stolen.

 

ask him for the code of the tranny to see if its usdm or jdm.

I agree .

Find out if he's the original owner, or what the story about the history is.

I don't think any JDM tranny's came with the holes - Only the USDM units. Just like the JDM blocks are stamped B18C, not C5. I think this holds doubly, since JDM tranny's are 4.785 not 4.4 FD ratio like USDM.

Sooooo.... Either he's not the original owner, and the original owner replaced the trans with factory, OR, it's stolen.


Good eyes Mr. poster! Keep it up e-bay Type R po-po!!

 

Ill...your wrong.

My jdm ITR trans with the 4.7 had holes for a vin tag.

 

2001 USDM ITR tranny has J4D LSD writen on the casing correct??

Heres the link of the ITR thats for sale on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

Interesting. Apparently the JDM trans comes with and without VIN tag holes.

 

My tranny looks guilty. I have holes with no vins.... but then again I have a 00 CTR tranny.
