~1min read

Your vehicle has several identification numbers located in different places.

1. The chassis number is stamped on the panel separating the engine compartment from the passenger compartment.

2. The engine number is stamped on the cylinder block.

3. The transmission number plate is attached to the top of the transmission case.

Do not confuse the transmission number with the engine number.
