TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
The transaxle identification label is found on clutch housing, near the differential cavity (Fig. 3).

The label consists of the transaxle part number, as well a 12-digit engine identifier/build date code (Fig. 4). Digits 1-3 are the identifier (TCG = 2.2L Turbo Diesel - TBU = 2.4L Turbo). Digits 4-5 represent the day of year built. The 7th digit represents the calendar year of build, and the remaining 5 digits are the build sequence number.

For example, a transaxle with the identifier is considered to be the 3rd transaxle built on the 114th day of the year 2001, and goes behind the 2.2L Turbo Diesel.
