Mainly curious if the bell housing is the same off of a EJ 2.0 and the EJ 2.2

And how is the easiest way of telling gear ratio for the transmission

There are minor differences over the years in the bellhousing, 90-98 are phase 1 4 bolt bellhousing and 99+ are phase 2 8 bolt. There two phases are interchangeable for manual transmission, but not automatic. If you have access to the transmission code a quick google sear have should give you the final drive ratio, you can also post it here as some of the members are handy at reading them.

Where would I find the code for the Automatic transmission at?

thank you for let me know about the bell housing differences

This link will give you info on the gear ratio. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ia75cro4n1deou/TransmissionIDChart_Public.pdf

There should be a sticker on the transmission, usually near the starter on the ones I've seen.

They are all interchangable.

 

In fact Automatics are easier since the lower starter bolt is a stud in the trans case......not one of the through bolts.

 

Manuals the lower starter bolt is one of the 8 bolts in the 8 bolt housing........But one can install a threaded insert into the Trans bell, and use it for a stud for the lower starter bolt (8 bolt trans w/4 bolt engine)

Show me a phase 2 automatic transmission running correctly in place of a phase 1 without a wiring swap.
