Hi guys, I need help finding out the manufacture date of my transmission. In my service manual it says that the first 3 numbers of the ID tag on an ax15 indicate the date. It gave an example, saying that 902 meant it was made in February of '89. Wtf? How does that make sense...unless it counts as a '90, hence 902 is February of 1990? My numbers are 006, they are what I need translated. (It's definitely older than '94, since it has the stupid internal slave).
Also, when going to order a pilot bearing for a transmission, say the manufacture date was 1990, would you order a bearing for a '90, or a 91? I ask because of how vehicle manufacture seems to work. Even if it's manufactured in 2013, it's considered a 2014 vehicle. Or am I wrong?
