Transmission Identification






Transmission Identification

Example - arrow -:






GKF - Transmission Code

10.05.2 - May 10, 2002

14 - Plant Code

14 15 - Time

001 - Serial Number

On some transmissions, additional code letters are applied at the top, on the transmission in the vicinity of the selector lever cable - arrows -.






The transmission code is also listed on the vehicle data plate.

If the vehicle data label is not available, a different transmission was accidentally installed or there is no definite way to identify the installed transmission, read the transmission code letters directly from the transmission. Refer to => [ Transmission Code Letters, Reading ].

Transmission Code Letters, Reading

The transmission code letters are on the transmission in at least in two different locations.

On the transmission near the selector lever cable - two arrows -.






If these cannot be read or are on the head, the transmission code letters can also be read under the transmission mount bracket.

To read the transmission code letters under the bracket directly from the transmission, the engine and transmission must be supported. The transmission mount bracket - A - must be removed. Lower the engine/transmission just enough until it is possible to slide the bracket toward the rear. If lowered further, the pendulum support could be damaged. After being assembled, the selector lever cable must be adjusted. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable, Adjusting ] Adjustments.






A detailed description of how to remove the bracket is not needed here. Refer to "Transmission, Removing".

Short Description:

Remove the air filter housing and battery.

Install the engine support bridge (10-222 A) and support the engine/transmission. Do not lift it up yet.

- Remove the engine mount to engine mount bracket bolts - 2 - and the engine mount bracket to transmission bolts - 1 -.






- Then, lower the engine/transmission slightly using the engine support bridge (10-222 A) spindles until the bracket - A - can be removed.

In most cases, 2 turns on the spindle are enough to remove the bracket - arrow -.






- After installing the bracket, always adjust the selector lever cable. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable, Adjusting ] Adjustments.
