nb Is number on transmission the VIN number of the vehicle it came out of
NB Is the number plate on the transmission the VIN of the car it was installed in?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi guys. I hope this is the right forum. I recently purchased a six speed transmission. It was supposedly a 99 Special Edition with 55k miles on it. When I got it home, upon close inspection, it seemed to me that a transmission with only 55k should not have a rubber shifter boot [the little one underneath the big one] that was worn with tears in it. So. It got me thinking. Is there really only 55k on it? I then discovered what appeared to be a vin label on the body of the transmission. Googled it. It turned up as a wrecked 2000 Miata Special Edition in a parts yard with 113,950 miles on it! So. Before I say anthing to the seller I need to confirm something from some of you guys with experience. Is the Number Plate on the transmission, that looks just like a VIN number plate indicate the VIN number of the car into which the transmission was initially installed. Thanks in advance Roadbird |

They scammed you for 60k miles but if it wasn't beat on the track, it will be fine anyway. If it were me, I would tell the seller just to make the point and hopefully make him a bit uncomfortable in the process. Maybe he'll send you a few bucks for the 'misunderstanding'. :vash:

Unless someone did something catastrophic that MSM transmission should have been fine with such low mileage. I'd bring it up with the seller, too.
My Torsen was from a junkyard car. Probably blew a seal and the little old lady that owned it just kept on trucking. |
The shifter rubbers do not last long, 50k mile failure is highly likely.

Ripped shift boots on a 55k tranny is not uncommon. A VIN plate with 110k on a 55k tranny is cause for more concern.
