Transmission KW5M332NQXV ???

[WAWDTT]

Does anyone have a way of looking up casting numbers on transmissions? I am wondering what the last four characters mean or what vehicle this tranny is out of.

KW5M332NQXV

Thanks for the help

5M33 means it turbo, thats all i know. Is this a FWD or AWD tranny? If you need to know the differnce between the 90 and 91+ this thread might help. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224807

This is AWD....

From GalantVR4 Forums
w5m332 means they are for turbo AWD 4g63 powered 1G, GVR4 and evo 1-3 (don't know about evo iv and beyond, anyone?).

nq -> is for the GVR4 (US and JDM)
np -> if the the US 1G and some 2G cars (up to 96; in '97 MMC switched from np to mu for the 2G)
c50ph -> is the switchable tranny (2wd/4wd)
c51ph -> if for the 88-89 JDM VR4 (early GVR4s) and select foreign market (a specimen was reported in Australia for example) GVR4s

All of the above are compatible with the GVR4 3 bolt and the 1G 4 bolt rear diffs.

wq -> is for the GVR4 RS and the evo1
evo2 and evo3 -> trannies each have letters that are different from all of the above and from one another.

The wq and evo2 and evo3 trannies DO NOT work with the US GVR4 3 bolt nor the US 1G 4 bolt rear diffs. The above data was gathered from multiple lists over a period of two years. I have found no exceptions to date

So the "NQ" means it's from a US or JDM Galant GVR4.

I know on all the DSMTrannies I've seen there is a 17-digit VIN etched on the bellhousing. The 10th digit of which denotes year.

On my 1991 DSM-AWD Tranny it was 4E3CT6446ME027032

From VFAQ, other year codes:

L=1990
M=1991
N=1992
P=1993
R=1994
S=1995
T=1996
V=1997
W=1998
X=1999

I also *believe* the character after the year (11th ) denotes what model car it came off of:
Z = GVR4 (JDM Tranny likely)
E = DSM (the case with my all 3 trannies I've owned)

Cool, thank you everyone for the help!

On a side note, DSM90AWD, what kind of wheels are those on your ride? That is exactly what I am looking for.

ok so let me understand this. instead of making a new thread i have a similar question.

My tranny reads KW5M332NPZS

there was a number under this reading JD6720 and a barcode (sticker) with the numbers:

8JD6720-NP7S under it.

Now, from what I understand my car is from a AWD domestic car...but i need to know the year of this thing so i can get a seal for it and different shifter cables, base mount, and shifter linkage. I have a 90 AWD 5 spd and am pretty sure its a different year tranny. All I know is the previous owner told me he bought a tranny from another car with 80k on it.

From what I understand in this thread, my tranny is from a 92. Is that correct?
