jdm motors and tranny doesnt have vin plates, they have the holes for it, but not the plate itself. and also jdm plates holes doesnt have treads, just a plain hole.
if ur in 5th gear doing 80 and the rpm is at about 4-4.5 then its gsr.
5th gear doing 80 and the rpm is under 4 then its ls.
b16 trannys u be 5200 rpm doing 80.
Thats funny, because the 1st gen b16a I have has a "jdm" VIN plate on it. Must just be you
99-00 b16 tranny, at 80mph, you will be at roughly 4500 rpm.
96 gsr tranny, at 80mph, you will be at 4000 rpm.
95 LS tranny, at 80 mph, you will be at roughly 3200-3500 rpm. This being from my personal experiences.
judging by the VIN tag and its order, if my memory serves me right, it is an integra transmission. notice the "DC4" in the VIN?? DC is the integra chassis. It could be an LS, or GSR transmission equivalent. I know in the US, you really cant tell the difference from obd1 LS/GSR trannies for they have the same transmission code. You would have to run the VIN on it to find out what car it came out of. But since yours is JDM, your pretty much going to have to research online. Try contacting the ppl @ TorontoJDM.com - Total Japanese Domestic Motor they might be able to help.
If it was a GSR it would read "DC2". "DC4" is the code for an LS coupe, hence it's an LS transmission.
DC2/4 simply clarifies the chassis code. You can actually get all the information about the car right off of the VIN if you know how to read a VIN. I learned this in school a long time ago. Pretty interesting stuff.
As for your theory about the dc2/4, the LS transmission came in other models, such as rs, gs, and type-r.
