I need to know if there is a casting, stamp, or differences in the years of the manual transmissions.

I have a manual transmission that came with my car that I am trying to sell and I need to know what year of a car it came out of but have no idea how to check.

 

Check where the transmission mount is. Is there 4 bolts holding on the rubber mount piece or 2 bolts?

 

2 bolts = S4
4 bolts = S5

 

Thanks for the info.

Is there a way to tell exactly what year it came out of?

 

Nope, just what series it came from.

 

it doesnt matter what year it came from. they are all the same within series.

 

I thought some had different ratios, specifically 5th gear.

There was a 0.690, a 0.711, and another.
