iam in the market of buying an evo3 motor(b16g?yellow-injectors) but how do identify an evo3 awd tranny from the rest of the awd trannys and where do i find one?

Why do you want an EVO 3 tranny? They do not work with the US rear-end gear ratios.

To answer your question, you need to look at the tranny code on the bellhousing to determine which is which.

i was looking into it because ot its longer gears.

Like you wanted to use it for its internals and swap everything into a normal DSM tranny?

w5m332 means they are for turbo AWD 4g63 powered 1G, GVR4 and evo 1-3 (don't know about evo iv and beyond, anyone?).

nq -> is for the GVR4 (US and JDM)
np -> if the the US 1G and some 2G cars (up to 96; in '97 MMC switched from np to mu for the 2G)
c50ph -> is the switchable tranny (2wd/4wd)
c51ph -> if for the 88-89 JDM VR4 (early GVR4s) and select foreign market (a specimen was reported in Australia for example) GVR4s

All of the above are compatible with the GVR4 3 bolt and the 1G 4 bolt rear diffs.

wq -> is for the GVR4 RS and the evo1
evo2 and evo3 -> trannies each have letters that are different from all of the above and from one another.

The wq and evo2 and evo3 trannies DO NOT work with the US GVR4 3 bolt nor the US 1G 4 bolt rear diffs. The above data was gathered from multiple lists over a period of two years. I have found no exceptions to date.


PS -- As an FYI there are some wierd ones, for which I cannot comment about their compatibility with US cars. I'd stay away from these. They are:

nr -> unknown
f5m332sp -> unknown
w5m33?nn -> unknown
w5m33?mn -> unknown


W5M31 is a non turbo galant gsx

^^That's great info. That should be archived.

the gears arent longer. they are shorter and closer ratio.
to use them you have to use late madel 1.090 t-case and 3.9 rear end. the rear end case of evo is different so gears would need to be swapped to DSM
