manual transmission identification
just wondering if you can identify the year of the trans(5spd) on an FB based on the serial number on the bellhousing or are there any identifiable marks on the case that would distinguish a change throughout the model years or help to identify the model year of the trans?

ok. i know that the engines and transmissions do have serial numbers and now, even more so i wonder why. i nknow more modern cars have the engine and trans numbes linked to the vin. my 92 Camry SE does and those numbers were verified by the state of ohio's ridiculous inspection when i got the salvage title converted to a rebuilt title. i guess i'll just end up counting the teeth on the speedometer gear in each of the transmissions that i have and compare those to the teeth on the speedomeer drive gear in the automatic trans thats currently in the car.

All I know about trans is the trans mount is different and needs swapped over when going from 81-82 cars and 83-85 cars. The mount depends on the car year and either mount will bolt up to any 81-85 trans (as far as 5 speeds go).[/QUOTE]
I'll take some side shots of the two examples I've got to illustrate this difference tonight...
