I haven't been on here in a while due to the fact that my car was down getting a few goodies put on to it. But I was curious to find out, and I searched for a while and couldn't get a solid answer with all of the archived information. So here it is. I've got a type R transmission that I was told it was a JDM tranny, which is sitting in the garage. (By the way I need to get rid of.) I know that there isn't anything wrong with it because I just recently pulled it off a EG coupe that I bought to part out for my integra. I went to post it for sale and realized that the stamp shows J4D LSD. So is it true, that this tranny I have is a USDM? I'm starting to think so but I wanted everyone's expert opinion. The barcode still reads S80-xxxxxxxxx. Does the S80 only refer to the LSD portion of the tranny? Seems like a stupid question but I just wanted to be sure of what I have so I can advertise it correctly and not look like a complete fool! Thanks all!!

 

It's a USDM Type R transmission...

 

the J4D indicates that it has a 4.4FD
both 96 spec JDM and all 1997-2001 USDM ITR transmissions came with this

does it have a VIN #plate on it?
if not, does it show signs that it was once there and has been removed

thats a tell-tale sign that its a USDM tranny

 

The 96 spec didn't come with the same stamp though correct?

It should have it as well since it also came with the 4.4 FD.

the 96 spec JDM tranny came with the stamp

 

Look at the holes where the Vin# plate usually is on the tranny and if there is threads, its usdm, and if there is none then its jdm

 

pmed you

 

So if it has no threads then it's a JDM, regardless of the stamp J4D?

 

Ok thanks! How does the J4D mean that it is 4.4 FD?

 

I also pmed you back. Thanks!
