* 4-speed automatic: This was the standard transmission for most trims.
* 5-speed manual: This was available on the base trim, the RAV4.
To know which transmission your specific 2005 RAV4 has, you can check:
* Your vehicle's owner's manual: It should specify the transmission type.
* The VIN number: You can use this to look up your vehicle's specifications online, including the transmission type.
* The sticker on your car's driver-side door jamb: This will list the vehicle's specifications, including the transmission.
You can also physically inspect your vehicle's transmission shifter. A 4-speed automatic will have 4 gears, while a 5-speed manual will have 5 gears, plus a reverse gear.
