Other tag build 10-76

Its an LX SL Sedan Dandenong built with a 173 6 cylinder. The trans code on the passenger side plate will tell you what the gearbox or auto is, M20 or Trimatic. The axle code is for the diff ratio.

Quarter Horse.
You have listed G as between sept 76 and Aug 77.
why is this so?
i.e why not G = 76 only?
and H for 77 only?
Great web site.

The year codes run from 1 Sep to 31 Aug each year, so for LHs etc
D= Sep 73 to Aug 74
E= Sep 74 to Aug 75
F= Sep 75 to Aug 76
G= Sep 76 to Aug 77
etc

Unless its been altered, an SLR5000 will be 8D69T on the VIN plate and 8VD69 on the BODY plate with L31 as the ENG designation.

An L34 is also an SLR5000 with a 8D69Z... VIN with the same Model No and an L34 Engine Code on the Body Plate.

As is an A9X, but harder to pick from codes alone.

The gearbox code should be M21 for a 308. The VIN is on the long skinny plate on the centre of the firewall. Post this number to cross check the trim level and motor code. Diff code could be G70 (2.78:1) or GU4 (3.08:1). The chassis number is behind the d Edited by user Thursday, 17 April 2008 11:05:12 PM(UTC)

you need the model codes , driveline codes alone cannot correctly identify a car.
all 5 litre 4spd should be m21, G70 is 2:60 diff ratio which would give good top end speed.It would need a good amount of power to get off the line though.

Hmmm. G70 is 2.60:1, which was only available on LX SLR5000 A9X. M20 - are you sure? Email me the VIN number (long skinny plate) and i'll check for you to see if it is an A9X. If the plates aren't bodgied up something is wrong. AFAIK A9X's only had M21 or |
