WHAT IS THE SNAP RING RANGE???FROM WHAT # TO WHAT#

[92acnsx]

I was wondering about the snap ring issue as well. I checked my transmission J4A4-1004490 my 92 na1 was manufactured in August of 1991. There is also an ink stamp with a green dot on top of my trans case under air box labels 4821...does this mean snap ring clearance issue was addressed?

Unless you have clear documentation indicating that the case was replaced then you can't assume that it was.

Snap ring repair

I have a few questions about snap ring repair. My car is a 1992 with ~31,000 miles that is in snap ring range. The transmission feels fine. The repair is just to have the potential for future failure taken care of. I just purchased a new case. I was going to send my transmission to SOS to do...

Fwiw, I had "clear documention" of a snap ring repair and it was inaccurate.

They just replaced the snap ring, right? SMH

I guess you didn't look in the FAQ before asking, huh? As it states there:

"The snap ring failure is limited to transmission numbers J4A4-1003542 through J4A4-1005978. These transmission numbers are limited to 1991 and 1992 model year vehicles. You cannot determine whether a car is in the range for possible failure by VIN number, you MUST check the TRANSMISSION NUMBER."

If so why do I have 43,000 miles and no problems??

As also stated there:

"How many miles does it take to fail?

It varies widely."

Some failures are listed in the FAQ, and they occurred anywhere from 24K miles to 116K miles.

Where on the transmission is the number stamped?

Where on the transmission is the number stamped?

It's not stamped- it is a decal. Its located on top of the clutch case. You can see it looking straight down on the left side of the car.
