I am trying to replace my transmission with a used one. My 2000 OBW automatic transmission type is labeled as: TZ1A4ZCABA-WL 2001 OBW "donor" auto transmission type is labeled as: TZ1A4ZCCBA One letter off (bolded) and no "-WL" from mine. Anyone know if they are interchangeable/compatible? Or where I would look to decode the labels to find out? Could the 8th digit "C" just refer to the year (2001 vs. 2000), a model difference (Base vs. ?) or somehting more ominous? I guess what I am asking is will his FDR (trans gear ratio) work with my rear diff and TCU? How do I find out if they are the same between cars? I want to do a straight plug and play swap without having to spring for a new rear diff as well.
