Hello, I have come across a transmission in a storage building, and I am unable to i.d. it. Looking on line has provided no clues. I do not know if the transmission is a 3, 4, or a 5 speed, or the application for it. The tag on the transmission reads as follows:

D9ZRDA1013
RUGD4 AR18

The shifter does not mount directly in the top of the main tailhousing, but rather on a "leg" on the driver side of the transmission. Sort of like a foreign built transmission on some 70s-80s cars. I will try to get some pictures to send to those who might be willing to take a stab at identification of the transmission. ( I can send pics to an e-mail, if I am unable to post them on the forum.

Thanks in advance,

David.

Well, the D9ZR tells you that it's a manual transmission for a 1979 Mustang.

D = Decade (D = 70's)
9 = 1979
Z = Mustang
R = Manual Transmission

 

UseCommonSense.... Thanks for the i.d on the transmission. Now, to figure out where it came from. Can't remember ever having a Mustang that late. Only '87, '88 Turbo Coupe Birds. Might have come from one of them that was parted.
