Subject: Re: IML: 1982 Transmission identification The TIN is located on the right side, in front of and slightly above the oil level piping; the serial number is on the left side, on the flange above the oil pan, in a boss on the casting. The TIN number might be something like CR130383, the last eight characters of the car serial number. The EFI Imperials were somewhat different than the other car lines in that they had a Lock-Up Torque Convertor just for it. These are sometimes identifiable by removing the small plate in the bottom front of the bell housing and spin the engine until you can read the letters and numbers. These transmissions are equipped with an Imperial "Wide Ratio" set-up of the A-999 or A-904 family, they were built in Kokomo, Indiana and the last eight characters of the serial number are the build date and sequence number......Bob Harris > >Can someone please help with the identification of the transmission fitted > >to my 82 imperial? > >The service manual list three, one is for the six cyl but it doesn't > >clarify > >which one is used on the imperial. > >The T.I.N is unclear but may read : - CR1388_ _ > >The serial no. is also unclear : - _ k1202729x 7374 6800 > > Hey Neil, > I don't know about TIN # and serial #'s, but I believe your car should have > a 904 trans w/ a lock up convertor. > ROb > > _________________________________________________________________ > Join the world's largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. > http://www.hotmail.com > > >
