Ok i ran some serial numbers off this new trans. Should be noted that i bought the trans as a "JDM 95-99 AWD Auto" ...the JDM i dunno about but, heres whats happened so far...i ran the numbers with my local dealer, NOW he tells me i have a LATE 2g auto awd(late 96-99 and that would explain the mounts ) and they had a Late 94 to mid 96 trans as well. However, the original flexplate did not work with the torque converter on the new trans. When i ordered a 92-94 7 bolt flex plate , it work perfectly
? Thats why i assumed a 1g trans. Now you say 2g's have lock up, thanks, didnt know that actually, but shouldnt i still have reverse?...and one more thing(went to go get electrical manual), the ELC 4-speed Automatic Transaxle Control solenoid valve wiring is slightly different, the connector from the TCU has 4 wires(Yellow,Green,Orange,and Red) but the trans connector has 3 wires, Yellow, Green, and Orange....and as i read this manual, the red wire from the TCU is the "Torque Converter Clutch control Solenoid" ...assuming this is for the Lock Up?....So now, with all that ....Any info would be great , like, should i assume this tranny is garbage as well since reverse doesnt work? And this wire difference going to hurt anything? Thansk guys!
