Transaxle Identification Information


Object Number: 863742  Size: MF

Saturn transaxles have coded manufacturing date stamps to aid in identification (refer to the following pages for locations). The transaxles use a ten digit identification code to designate not only the time, day and year, but also model code, production plant and a design change code. The day is designated by the Julian date.
