A name is the starting point.
This table identifies the units described by this document. It does not show that any transmission, control module, harness or related part with the same family name interchanges across years.
When asking about a drivetrain part, include the actual vehicle year, transmission identification, two- or four-wheel drive, and photographs of the part and connectors. A swapped vehicle may differ from its original factory specification.
