SL3 usually in 91 DX - has "SL3" sticker on top instead of on front like most L3s
 
yeah the sticker is not where the others are.it is on the top.is this a 5 speed trans because the shift knob was missing.how can you tell
 
if you were at the car why didn't you just put it into gear?!?!?!
if it has 5th then its a five speed, this also works with the tranny out of the car
 
but you can shift it by hand with just the piece on the trans...

and you should always try and shift it by hand to make sure its not rammed and jammed into a gear...
 
mounted trans in rex it is a 5speed trans goes through the gears fine since i'm putting this in a hf wich spindles do i need since i dont no if it is a si or dx trans my splines on the hf hubs are 23 wich do i need for the trans

your HF axles are fine - no difference at transmission end on DX,Si or HF - only difference is at the hub end on the HF
