Manual Transmission/Transaxle: Application and ID

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION





The transaxle identification label (2). is found on clutch housing (1), near the differential cavity.





The label consists of the transaxle part number (2), as well a 12-digit engine identifier/build date code (1). Digits 1-3 are the identifier (TCG = 2.2L Turbo Diesel TBU = 2.4L Turbo). Digits 4-6 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 TCG114100003 is considered to be the 3rd transaxle built on the 114th day of the year 2001, and goes behind the 2.2L Turbo Diesel.
