Cant seem find a decent decoder on the web. (I dont have a specific code) I want to know what position in the code is the trans and what are the 2 codes (manual = $) (A/T =$)
Thanks, rjm
so you car is in USA< I see it is a Tracker so is USA or Canada car. no your told.
the wreckers car is 1999 you said, IN USA?
axles world wide in this car are not the same. SO I MUST Beg country .
here is my list of proof, all axles I can find world wide (list is 10 years old)\

some H25 v6 pull 4.88 axles with 4speed your tracker is 4.12.:1 and both axles must match ratio.
the more powerful engine can pull Taller gears (lower numerical ratio and did) 5sp H25 is. even slow 4.625 (manual box)
short answer , USA VIN does not have transmission codeds, in the VIN, engine yes. and if 2door or 4door. and year. code.
outside USA YES.
