That works with your stock rear end ? Any idea of the spline count ?

The "V" in the first position of his tranny code comes from a GGSX, right ? So it wont fit into a GVR4 (or 1G TEL), right ?
Or am I missing something ?

My tranny has w5m332 WQWK I know it's an RS tranny, but does this mean it has LSD as well?? Anybody??

Back on topic. I've got a switchable FWD/AWD tranny and transfer case that came attached to a JDM RS motor with the big 16g and yellow top 510 injectors. The numbers stamped into the bellhousing are: C50PH EV2354 Any guesses on what the EV stands for? [ 08-07-2004, 03:50 PM: Message edited by: CO VR4 ]

My code is for a VR4 Evo,
W5M332WQNK MA1962
It was: non LSD front diff, close ratio box, 3.909 ratio.
W might be the diff ratio code as VR4 Evo, late VR4 RS, Evo 1&2 all use the 3.909 ratio, since this box has the same ratios as an Evo 1, and the VR4 RS, Q might be the gearset code, as the EVO 2/3 have a different gearset, N might be the non LSD/viscous LSD/plate LSD front diff code. K=?...steel selector forks?
Interesting that RTSGVR-4 had to get a special axle cup sent as I have just fitted a LSD to my gearbox and the standard axle cup went straight in...my is a plate type, maybe his is a viscous?
I wonder how this code relates to the rear end? I had a 3.909 4-spider viscous with 4ws. Unfortunately, there is no marking on the pumpkin.

I talked the guys at Ralliart a while ago about this, and the head mechanic said that the switchable transmission was an option on early VR4s (87-89?). I took this to mean the KM255 gearbox, but as there is a C50PH code for the W5M33 gearbox, he could have meant the gearboxes that were built before MMC started putting the four letter code on. I have never heard of a switchable Evo 1.
Also, I have just checked the code of my brother-in-law's Evo 2 gearbox which is going in his auto VR4:
W5M332WPGE. It appears to have an open front diff. And he doen't want to open it up to check.
So the W probably is the 3.909 diff, and the 'P' is maybe the gearset? Maybe the 'E' means Lancer, and the 'K' on my gearbox means Galant? (except for last of the US VR4 gearboxes which may have been in the US for T/E/L and used in the VR4.)
Mike.
Afterthought: Maybe the fourth letter relates to the bellhousing, you know, 'cause the Lancers use a mount on the housing, and Galants have the mount on the engine.

quote: Pull the axles and if you can see through the diff. it's a LSD, if you see a crossbar is a STD open diff.
Just to clarify - this maybe true on normal trannies, but does not apply to switchables. My switchable is see-through but is non-LSD. One more curve ball in figuring out trannies.
I saw an article from a transmission rebuilder way back that the letters after the W5M3x-???? were meaningless - they referred to the bill of materials used to put together that specific trans type and did not inherently specify configuration. In other words, the letters / numbers after W5M33 [which do consistently indicate trans type] are meaningless without the internal Mitsu cross reference to the parts used.

I know i'm grave digging on my first post but I have the answer. I also have a W5M312VPXZ, and after searching the archives here in GVR4.org , I found a Russian website with tranny codes and corresponding chassis codes: Russian Site Translated. N43W is the chassis code that matched W5M312VPXZ, which is a JDM Mitsubishi Chariot GT, basically a sporty, turbocharged, 227hp Expo.
Here's the only english specs I could find on the car: http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/16383/ Still, no gear ratios.
