2667, How to tell a SOHC tranny from the rest
Posted by Dave41079, Apr-22-04 06:51 PM
Is there any way I can tell from the outside of the tranny what kind it is. I am getting one from a junkyard, but I want to make sure it's a SOHC tranny before I shell out the bucks for it. Any marks or anything you guys can tell me will be greatly appreciated.

Uhhhhh, see if is bolted to a SOHC 420a in a Neon? That's my best bet. Next to that, though, you could probably run the VIN stamped into the tranny and see what kind of car it came from.

Great idea. I looked up decoding the VIN on a Neon. Yes I searched..WOW. This is what I came up with, for future reference.

Eighth Digit (Engine):
C (2.0L SOHC)
Y (2.0L DOHC)

You don't need the VIN. Look at the ID tag on the transaxle's bearing cover, and make sure it matches what is specified or a SOHC Neon trans as listed on the main site.
