is it normal? i purchased an ITR tranny JDM 4.7 fd supposely and it has a white sticker on it S80xxxxxx and i do not see any black stamp that says N3E LSD but however there is an LSD should i worry?

 

and where the VIN number was suppose to be, there is no green VIN.. only 2 holes

 

there is no vin on JDM trannies... just 2 holes...

thank you... im worried that i might get ripped off.. also.. it doesnt have N3e LSD stamp.. is it normal?

 

its a marker/paint stamp, they wear/rub off with time. Have you looked through the diff to confirm its at least an LSD tranny?

 

Mine doesnt have the stamp. Its possible for them to wear off.

I know you said it has LSD but have you

ic.. is yours a JDM 98+ spec?

 

mine had a stamp came off with brake cleaner when cleaned up the tranny

 

looks like this right?


Mines didnt have it either
its a 97 spec

 

same here, when i got my jdm tranny it had slight salt residue i cleaned it up and the LSD stamp became so light

also the white sticker fell of with the high pressure washer,

The trick is also that the JDM trannies have the 2 holes and they are NOT threaded (unless I'm mistaken). Where as USDM trannies will have the 2 holes if someone has removed the vin... and WILL be threaded.

neither of them are threaded. the usdm has rivets that keep it in place. not bolts. the jdm ones are just blank

Sure about that?

Think map sensor... when tightened at the factory the heads pop off the bolt/screw.

 

The usdm IS threaded. The rivets are bolted on the tranny. I believe they use special bolts that snap off once tightened.

Once again, JDM = not threaded, just empty holes. USDM = threaded. Unless someone tapped the JDM to accept threads then it should not have any threads in the holes.
