You would have to open it up. D-series are either A000 or B000 there are no other marks that will tell you for sure. A000= cx, vx, dx, lx but you wont be able to tell which!

 

So I'm just going off the persons word pretty much...

Open it up and count. That trans shouldn't be worth a lot of money, but you still wouldn't want to throw away money; and if you do feel free to throw it my way :lol:

 

CX/VX is easy to tell from the other S20 transmissions.

Put it in 5th gear, turn the input shaft 10 times, count the number of rotations of the diff, then do math.

Care to elaborate a little more? I was hoping the guru would respond

How do I put it in 5th gear if the tranny is on the floor not attached to anything?

 

Mista Bone beat me to it.. but heres a pic of what he was talking about..

I know thats for cable transmissions but I would think the Vx should land somewhere close to the Hf mark since the ratios are pretty close.

That is why he is the man!

Orient the transmission so that you're "behind" it like you would be if you were both in the car. Now you see that shift rod there? Stick a screwdriver or something through the hole, rotate it to the right, and pull it out.

Perfect, I can totally picture that. Thx a ton.

I'm still somewhat waiting on a picture of the vx tranny "dot" after the 10 spline spins.

 

10 / 3.25 / .702 = do your own math!

Or if you are really lazy, highlight it and search Google for it.

I still dont know what that means though lol...

Would it be like an x/y axis? If so where would the starting point be located? etc...

I just want to be able to get all this info so that went I go to look at the tranny I dont waste the sellers time.

 

You can do it in any gear, 10/final drive/gear ratio=xxx. That number is the number of rotations the diff will make after you rotate the main shaft 10 times.

Mark the diff and the main shaft at 12 o'clock, thats your starting point. Rotate main shaft 10 times. Then note the location of the mark on the diff.

If you use 1st gear like in the pic I posted. The Vx would land in about the same location as the hf but on the opposite side of the vertical axis.
1st gear:
Hf- 1.04 rotations
Vx- 0.95 rotations

If you use 5th gear, the diff will rotate about 4.4 rotations from its starting position.
