1FTRX18W5YKB Need to know what transmission I have in my 2000 F150 4x4 4.6L engine. my mechanic said he can not find any info on tranny... i gave beginning of vin.. How can i locate the correct transmission

 

Transmission information is not contained in the VIN. You have to get that code off the door tag.

Most likely, you have a 4R70W, TR code "U" behind a 4.6 if you have an automatic. You failed to provide that basic distinction.

 

LOL sorry.. It is an Automatic with 4.6L eng 4x4

 

What part of " You have to get that code off the door tag." did you miss?

 

You could also take a picture of the door tag and post it.

 

If your mechanic can't figure this one out, he's not much of a mechanic.

100% of the automatics behind a 2000 F150 with a 4.6 are 4R70W.

Look on the door tag. Look for "TR". The letter under the "TR" should be "U" which is a 4R70W. The pan is shaped like this:

 

The only automatic available in 2000 with a 4.6L was the 4R70W. It can't be anything else.

 

Thanks for the info.. I work Nights 50 miles away from home and the truck is at the mechanics near where I live. I was just trying to get the info so I can locate the tranny and know what kind of money I will need to come up with,.. I'm not an idiot or did not ignore Look at the tag on the door I just did not have access in middle of the night.. And I did not miss the Comment.. Thanks everyone and Happy Thanksgiving.

 

I did guess it was the 4R70W.. But I have been looking and everyone is asking if its a JA or FA. Was just trying to locate to expedite the repairs.

 

thank u..
