Are the T-56 transmissions for the Cobra tied to a VIN?

[Captain Chris]

Hey guys and gals,

Just wondering if the T-56 transmissions are tied to a specific VIN number on these cars.

Thanks!

Seeing that they're all the same, I wouldn't think so. Now if there were 2-3 different transmissions offered for the 2003-2004 Cobra then yes. Anyone else have info on this?

 

[RussZTT]

Ive never seen a VIN on our trans. Usually its only the block that can be tied to vehicles, not the drive-train.

There was a tag on mine. I made sure to put it back. I am not sure what was emboldened on it.

I can't speak for modern cars, but starting in the late 60's Ford assembly line workers were supposed to stamp engines and transmissions with the VIN number for the car. Some cars got complete VIN's, some incomplete and some not at all. I believe it was federal law so I would assume things haven't changed.

On my 99 cobra the last part of my vin was stamped into the t45 like the last 5 numbers i believe.

 

[Captain Chris]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I found this also which shows what everything is on the tag. I don't see anything like a VIN on there.

I crawled around on my back changing the tranny fluid and saw a tag on mine also, but it was only for the Ford part # of the T56, as I looked it up later. I had no VIN info on the tag, or on any other part of the tranny that I could see from my vantage point. :beer:

Thanks for the updates. If there was a VIN, I'd want to update my Terminator FAQs with it.

Let me know when you're ready to sell the T-56 Captain!! oke: ...I'll come pick it up ;-)

 

[Captain Chris]

Ok good to know that the Terminators don't have a VIN stamped. Wanted to check on that.

Haha Tim, I'll let you know........after I get it fixed! ;-)

I found this on a corvette site about the t56 vin its worth a look for ya'll.

ON THE TRANS YOU WILL FIND THE LAST "9" DIGITS OF THE VIN two 'casting boxes' up from TREMEC on the LHS side of the case

jeez i have had mine out so many times now, even just a couple weeks ago, but never really checked it out. it would be interesting to know.

do the engine blocks show a part of the vin? and if so, where?

 

[95SC]

Not sure on the T-56 but engine blocks have last 8 digits of the VIN stamped on them

 

[ctgreddy]

I was just messing around with my t56 installing a few things today, and saw no vin on it. I would say it's safe to say that there's no vin on the trans.

 

[Captain Chris]

Next time I'm over at Tim's house I'll have to check my original tranny. It's current home is on his basement floor (thanks Tim!) :thumbsup:

Where

 

[P49Y-CY]

nobody else with any info on this?

somehow i'm doubting that numbers like that actually are stamped anymore, because it seems like all of the assembly plant numbers have those bar-coded stickers, and have been for a long time now

 

[Snake Plissken]

Let me go out to the garage and check (it's sit'n on a pallet)......I shall return.

I see none. There are some numbers above the name Tremec, but I'm sure that's for their reference.

None
