Where to find your gearbox code
The gearbox code is the decisive detail: the same gearbox model was built under several codes, and they differ in ratios and software. There are three places to find it: the type plate on the gearbox casing, the equipment sticker on the first pages of the service book, or ask us — we check it against the VIN. Send the code or the VIN with your enquiry and we will supply the right unit.
