Default Engine and Transmission type

I have a 96 Accord LX 4 cyc., Automatic. I'm trying to order parts at http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com to do a major tune up. How do I tell what my engine and Transmission, KA4AT or KL4AT? By looking at the engine, would I know if I have ABS?

KA : 49 State Emissions
KL : California Emissions
KH : High Altitude Emissions
4MT : Four Speed Manual Transmission
5MT : Five Speed Manual Transmission
STD : Standard Transmission
AT : Automatic Transmission


they have the Key right next to all the sliders..

u would put

Model : Accord
Year : 1996
Trim Level : if you got a 4dr its 4dr LX and of course if you got a 2 door it is 2dr LX
Emission and Transmission Type : KA4AT IF you do NOT live in cali and if u do u put the KL4AT IF you LIVE in cali
System\Component : Then this is the part list

as for the ABS i believe its Optional to have ABS, if you have an EX its Standard.. i believe im sure someone else can answer this part

I bought the car and drive the car in CA. However, the car came from out of state. Should I be ordering from KA4AT?

Also, I have taken the rear wheels out yet, but would I have rotor or drum? Is there a way to tell without taking the wheel out?

you would put KA since you bought it in cali, they probably did some emission things with it if you bought from a dealer or whatever, and your back brakes are drums since you have a lx, might wanna double check incase someone did do a conversion on it.

KL is California so I would stick to the KL parts to keep your car legal in Cali

4ATKL

If you look under the back bumper at the rear wheels from the back you will be able to see if you have rotors or drums.
