To confirm interchangeability:
1. Find the transmission model number: This will be stamped on the transmission case itself. You'll likely need to get under the car to see it.
2. Compare the model numbers: Once you have the numbers for both transmissions (the one in the car and the potential replacement), cross-reference them against a parts catalog or a reliable online database. This is the only definitive way to know for sure.
Ignoring this could lead to problems with fitment, misalignment, and potential damage to your engine or transmission.
