In modern cars, mechanical, automatic and semi-automatic transmissions are installed. The latter differ in that they have the ability to change the mechanical control of the box to automatic. Car enthusiasts know that a different type of gear oil is recommended for each vehicle. Therefore, it is very important to know the number of your automatic transmission.
Instructions
Step 1
Experts say that all the problems that arise when using an automatic transmission are due to its improper operation or untimely maintenance, which consists in changing the transmission oil, diagnosing and repairing faults.
Step 2
You can find out this number in several ways. On the front cover of the gearbox, there is usually a sticker with the number and information about the automatic transmission. The number is also duplicated on the automatic transmission dipstick.
Step 3
On the car body in the area of the right engine mount (to see it, sometimes it is necessary to remove the air filter housing) there is a metal plate on which information about the automatic transmission number is applied.
Step 4
Another way to determine the automatic transmission number is to request the website of your car manufacturer. Every car produced after 1980 has its own VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) - an individual identification number. Usually it is indicated in the vehicle registration certificate, it is also stored in the memory of the on-board computer. In addition, the VIN code is printed under the windshield of the car and at the bottom of the driver's door arch. By sending your VIN code to the manufacturer's website, you will receive the number of the part or automatic transmission you are interested in.
