So my trans broke on me a couple of weeks ago and have been looking for a replacement. The problem is there are a ton. I think I found out which one belongs in my my car but I need help to make sure. From what i've learned if the 8th digit in you VIN is E then you will have to get a different trans then if it were some other digit. Is this true? Thanks in advance.

 

Here is how to decode th VIN. I don't see anything about the trans. In the Bently Service Manual it shows all the trans having 3 digit codes. Example: 01V, 01J, 09L, etc.

What are the specs of your car and I'll see what I can dig up in the manual to help? I need year, engine size(1.8, 2.0, 3.0, or 3.2), FWD or Quattro, and if you know if you have 5spd, 6spd, or CVT.
