    Don't count on your car having the trans it came with.

    Do the string trick: Use a piece of string and get the circumference of the inner joint. Do some math and convert the circumference to diameter.

    circumference / 3.14 = diameter

    I don't see that turning out well.

    The simplest way to know is to see what the trans code is.

    The number I found on the bottom of the transmission is Acn28105 with the number 4 above it does that mean anything or is there a different number
