Ok so I my friend has a LSD hydro b16 tranny from a 1/2 cut eg chassie and he wanted to sell it to me and so when I came to buy it i took a look at it and noticed it has the white serial sticker but it also has the 2 holes for a vin plate. My question is: Do JDM eg hydro tranmissions have vinplates or do the bell housings just come with them from the factory? The only reason I ask is because it doesn't look like there was ever a plate on the tranny. Any imput is greatly appreciated.

 

yes some trannys come with holes and there was prolly never a plate there

 

so my concern is that I don't want to have problem with the local authorities if I decide to buy.... he is a legit guy but I can't really prove that it is legit? any sugestions?

 

get a bill of sale from the person selling you the tranny just for your reference

 

ok so I called a couple of shops here local and they told me that some of the j spec's did have the holes but if there are no threads in the hole then the plate was never installed. can anyone confirm this?

 

i dont recall there are any holes or vin plate on my jdm b16a Sir II tranny just a sticker of saying Y21...... blah blah blah
where are the holes at and where is vin plate suppose to be at ?thanks

 

the holes should be on the bell housing right next to the stamp on your engine block.

 

you can see on this guy's thread where there are 2 holes but no plate...http://www.hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=2070762

 

if it were me i'd just swap bell housings lol.
