- Fri Dec 21, 2007 8:01 pm #34967 Which sticker on a transmission is the VIN #?


A while back i was spraying something around the block/ tranny and the fuckin sticker peeled off and im just wondering if that was the vin # or what..

on a diffrent site i notice that theres a sticker on the left, idk if my b16 tranny has that same sticker?


and also i was told that on the transmission somewhere the vin should be "stamped" in ..

which 1 is it :? :?


A. the sticker thats closest to the motor.... like right above the slave cylinder..



B. the damn sticker on the left of the tranny..


C. theres a stamp somewhere?

At one time there was a metal plate, with the serial number on it, screwed into those holes. Look for that on your trans. :thumb:

Not my engine BTW!! My shits never that dirty. :lol:
