trans code is stamped on top on a ear near the top engine to trans bolt closest to the freeze plugs about where the heater core hose comes out to the firewall!
mine is stamped EQ with a few other # aswell

I've got one sitting out here in the shop. It is under a whole bunch of s**t. I'll dig it out tomorrow.
What are you going to put the auto in, anyway???

All right........this was in my beloved '82 Jetta. Made it 435,000 miles and was JUST beginning to get slightly weak in reverse. I pulled the pan and switched ATF every 5,000 miles.
Has trans code and date of manufacture: TO 03052
Let me know if you want the trans for any reason. It is waiting to go to heaven.

did your tranny origanlly come from a gasser or a diesel?
the diesel's auto trans have a free wheeling feature when you let off tha gas pedal
so i'm hopping the one i bought is a diesel auto trans with code EQ
this trans did come out of a MK2 i'm hoping someone out there that has a known diesel auto trans can confirm that i got what i wanted!
if you got a diesel auto trans Dakota hang on to it thier getting hard to find!

Yes, this TO code trans was a real live diesel trans that kicked out and went to sleep when you let off the pedal.
Actually, that annoyed the hell out of me and I set the throttle cable to keep it in all the time. I have this habit of saving auto clutches and I slipped it in neutral all the time on my own.
That kick-out is annoying as it kicks out when you really don't want it to and then you get this lag and re-engagement that looks cool on paper but bites in reality.
This Jetta came out of Virginia Beach, Virginia and I acquired it in Dallas when I was interning down there. Only had 52,000 miles on it. I proceeded to go almost 400,000 more. THAT German engine was the longest-lasting engine I ever had. It's still sitting here on the concrete.
But yes, TO is all diesel genetics!

I don't see the governor on that one. Maybe it's behind those hoses?
Every now and then, on a really hot day the vent would apparently stick shut and then reopen with a vengence. Then, it would not do it for 20,000 miles.
I remember the engine bay covered in pink on a 100 degree day in the rolling hills of Kansas :shock:!!!!!!!
