VIN # position for tranny?
 

I know in the older VIN numbers that start with chassis #
as the first three numbers, position 8 is the transmission, with
0 as a manual and 2 as an automatic.

Where is that info in the newer WDB VIN numbers?

Trying to track down a manual tranny on Row52 to get
a clutch pedal assembly.


Thanks,
Jeff

I'm pretty sure the USA VIN standard does allow for trans info ( it does show engine codes, if the engines were manual only it might help ) There is a 2 digit type code at position 6 and 7 in the WDB setup that shows model designation, that may in a round about way equal manual / auto.

Is Row 52 more secret that Area 51?

Area 51 is where you go to get old, junky, used spaceship parts.:cool:

Row 52 is the PNP search engine. Makes searching easier and
has the VIN #s. Row52 | Search for vehicles at self-service auto recycling yards!

From approx. 08/1983, the position #8 contains a letter (A, B, C, F, J, etc.) which designates production plant (Sindelfingen, Bremen, etc.).
