i know there was a topic on how to tell the diff without taking the trani off. it had to do with the marks on the casing or something.

anyone have it?

or mabey it was a topic on how to tell the diff between si and dx tranni's i duno.

 

count the teeth on the spline to tell if its an 88. The SI trans are S3 or something. I know everything else are L3

 

"without taking the trani off"

i read on honda tech 88's are only different.

89-91's are 21 spline, so chances are i got a 89-91.

 

My tranny is an Si and it says L3 on it.....at least I think it's an Si tranny?

No 88-91 say "S3" on them all L3. I think all 89-91 use the same clutch but 88 is the only odd ball. Their is something on the side of the tranny too tell if its a Si like PL400 or something like that.

any tips to figure out what flywheel i got

88-89 or 90-91...

can i find the date of my engine by the stamp?

 

The head has a stamp on it saying the year of it. I beleive its between 2-3 or 3-4 cylinders about 1/2 inch above the ports, it should say like 88 or 89 etc/etc

 

I believe there's a gold sticker, with black letters on your tranny. I don't remember how, but I think you can figure out the year with those numbers. Yeah sorry very unsure, but I think that's how I did it.

 

thanks jeff!
