My trans is out and need to replace it myself. I know the JDM has two oil pans one on bottom and one on front side. My trans has one on front side only.I'm asking because I can find them online and local with warranties and tested. Also they are about half the price then a junkyard one like mine with no warranty or mileage. If not, Is there a way to make it fit and work?

Thanks Rob

I can't find any information online about this. You can ask a junkyard or dealership parts/service department what transmissions are compatible with your vehicle.

I do know that changing the transmission may require modifications to the wiring harness and shifter mechanisms.
