Default How do you know if it's an si tranny?

I want to buy an si tranny, 90 or 91 don't know exactly. How can I make sure it is from an si? There is a code on the tranny right? Anybody knows what it is?

Thanks

PL3/3000 cast into the casing just above the fill plug.

PL3/A000 or A100 denotes the smaller bearing HF, DX, STD tranny.


Whose your D tranny guru?????

i really don't think so. i looked at my dx tranny and the si i have in the car and both have different numbers on them. i think all of those trannies are marked l3 followred by what seems to be a production number or something, but i don't think it differentiates(sp) between the si and dx and hf.

The serial numbers on the sticker have no meaning at all!

Looks like I have to do it the hard way

This is a Si tranny..........





This is a STD 4 speed tranny........




This is a 88 with no markings........

88 has 21 teeth on input shaft- 89 and up have 20. This only matters with clutch selection. 88 and 89 used a smaller diameter clutch disc (200mm) and 90 and up used 212mm disc.

ok so how do you tell what year a tranny is? i am going to get a tranny today that i believe i am getting ripped on. it was from a previous swap that i had some people do and they told me they put my 88 crx si tranny in my car, but i don't think that is right. so what i am asking is, is there any way to tell what year a tranny is just by looking at it?

You a serial killer?

Serial numbers are nothing more than a sticker attached to a tranny housing.

When the syncros went bad in my tranny I thought ok it says L3 so I need an L3. Well I bought it and my gearing is now a lot shorter. I think I got an Si tranny. Oh well who needs to go past 80 on the freeway anyhow.

...and again the 2276702 doesn't mean anything. Might just be a production number.
