VIN # help please!!!
I am trying to do a carfax search on a car to find info on it and i am needing some help from you people.
This is for 01-05 coupe people i guess(mainly 2001 ex coupes)
My VIN reads as follows
1HGEM2***********
I am needing to find out if your coupe has those first 6 digits the same such as "1HGEM2".
I'm having trouble and think i got a wrong VIN from the company and they cant pull the VIN so i basically need to see if all the 01 ex coupes have those first 6 digits/letters.
The VIN they gave me is...
1HG1W12M259305063 : and i have entered everything possible around that and its not the correct VIN.
Thanks,
Injen

I am trying to get a tranny from that certain car which is supposed to be an 01 civic, do the 02-05 trannys work in an 01?

Rep Power: 348 here is the original VIN # they gave me which has to many digits.
1HG1WW12M259305063
I would think its got to be some type of civic since the VIN starts out the same as mine( 1HG ), but the rest doesnt match up.
I have tried entering a "E" in place of the 2 to make it "WW1EM2" and tried replacing the 5's with S's single and double. I dont know, but they do have a 30 day garuantee on the tranny no matter what happens, whether it wont fit or wont work for $650.00 and thats the cheapest i have found compared to $900

You should be good to go.but like you said a D17 is a D17, but what about D17A2? well i guess it would matter if its vtec or not since they should all use the same tranny system regaurdless of vtec correct?

Rep Power: 456 I think the trannies are a little different. The EX has just a little be longer gears, as compared to the DX/LX. But that's for the MTs. I'm not too sure how it'd work for an AT ...
