Re: 90q20V tranmission compatibility

Wait, back it up. Here's the skinny: the 01A trans came bearing four different diff
codes in the USA. AKU and AXL came in both 10v and 20v 80/90q's. ASZ and AXM (rare)
came in CQ's. The coupe and sedan vary in gear ratios and clutches. I have seen an
88 90q trans go into a 91 90q. The codes were different...that was five years ago.
So as long as you do not try to use a CQ trans, it should be fine.
