Snap ring question???

[Dman]

I am looking at buying a NSX with 115,000 miles. If the car was in snap ring range would it have failed already? The car is several hours away and the owner can't find the number on the tranny.

What year? Do you have a VIN?

Well, you would like to think if it has not broken by now it is OK but you never know.

Fill us in,

You can get the trans # when you get the PPI. You ARE getting that done right????

Following the purchase process correctly can save you thousands. Best of luck to you.

I did the PPI but like a dumba$$ forgot to get the mechanic to look it up. It's a 91 VIN#JH4NA11JXMT800052.

Not necessarily.

It's a 91 VIN#JH4NA11JXMT800052.

The transmission in that car when it left the factory was almost certainly NOT in the snap ring range. (The snap ring range only affected the last 20 percent or so of '91 model production, which was over 300 cars for the Canadian market; this one was number 52 or less of those sold.)
