Where do you find the type of transmission that is in a 89 Dodge Dakota?

The type of transmission in a 1989 Dodge Dakota depends on the specific model and options selected when it was new. You won't find that information on a general website. You need to check one of the following:

* The Vehicle's Identification Number (VIN): A VIN decoder website or your local Dodge dealer can use the VIN to provide the exact specifications of the truck, including the transmission type. This is the most reliable method.

* The Owner's Manual: If you still have the original owner's manual, it will specify the transmission.

* The Data Plate: Located typically inside the driver's side doorjamb, this plate may list some specifications, although it might not always include the transmission type.

* Under the Hood: While less reliable, you might be able to visually identify the transmission type by looking at it. This requires some knowledge of different transmission types and is not recommended for those without mechanical knowledge. Be careful, many components are hot even when the engine is cool.

In short, use the VIN decoder to find out definitively which transmission is in your specific 1989 Dodge Dakota.
