I know if you swap trannys and if it dont have a vin you can get in trouble in cali if you have a 96"+ but what if i put a tranny with a diffrent vin# from another car is it legal as long as its not repoted stolen? thanks i searched but couldnt find my answer

 

where did you get the tranny from?

 

no as long has you have a receipt for the tranny and it isnt stolen

 

The tranny was built by allmotorrandy but i found out that it doesnt have a vinn tag what should i do i already baught the tranny i guess my only choice would be switch tranny cases or if anyone knows another way i can use it without being harrased by cali pigs!

 

as long as the vin# on the transmission doesnt come up as "stolen" then its fine. you can just tell the officer you bought it from a shop because your old transmission was blown.


if it doesnt have a vin, just tell them its japanese JDM trannies dont have vin numbers. my JDM b16A tranny ddint have one and i popd my hood for an officer and he didnt do anything. itold him the motor and tranny is japanese [B16A] and he just gave me a ticket for not having it ref.

 

They should be able to tell the difference between a JDM tranny that used to have a sticker on there and a USDM tranny that has had the plate popped off just by looking right? Shouldn't there be holes or something where the rivets were supposed to be if the plate was popped off?

 

Yea and when you take the vin plate off it's all shiny underneath

 

how often do the cops check your transmission vin anyways???lol

And free health care too

 

So if i have this 95'' ls tranny in my 98'' gsr and it has no vinn couse they dont come with one'' but it has the serial # they come with, and a bill of sale for the tranny to show if a cop pops my hood and asks about the tranny i will be o.k as far as that goes?

 

You should be, unless you act like an *** and the cop gets pissed off and decides to give you a ticket anyway.

 

What if i just swap the bell housing? ls to gsr tranny still a b series case right!

 

not really ive lived in san jose for my whole life and everytime i get pulled its just a ticket for my intake and nothing really else

That would make no sence!

no vinn or serial tag= stolen engine to cops! which can lead to in cali in some cases where theres no vinn on the tranny or its been removed will end in your car being crushed by the p.d

 

Ask a ref. They should be able to tell you what their inspection credentials include.

maan you really need to stop rubin that in......especially on the health care......i fight really hard to just keep a job in cali for my 2 kids so i dont get slammed with medical bills.....my daughter havin some issues, i wish i had free health care...that would mean the world to me....

 

i know of 0 emissions test stations, or police officers, that would ever consider looking at your transmission lol.. and the only reason its illegal to swap, is because different gear ratios effect your average emissions, killing the environment, etc. speaking of transmissions, if anyone has a cable clutch tranny for a 91 integra ls (b18a1) let me know!
