ok so after a couple weeks of running from one parts store to the next
and custom modifying parts to fit my car
im starting to think i dont have the 7a-fe
whenever i try to get parts, and tell them i have an st
its never the right part, at least not when it comes to the engine and transmission etc...
my car was rebuilt at some point, and my aunt said it was an ST when i bought it from her
but im thinking that either i have a different transmission, or a different engine
so two questions
1. where on the engine do i find the identifying stamp
2. where can i find the same thing on the trans, and anyone know anywhere i can go for info on the trans?
my pride an joy has been locced away in the shop for weeks
i can hear him calling to me from across the street
please help me get ahab bacc out onto the streets
lol
thanks

just an update
so my engine unfortunately is a 7a-fe
good news is the axle works great
noise is gone from that side
handles perfectly
but bad news is this:
because of my lucc, another completely unrelated problem has arose
i need a new brake master cylinder
alas, i thought my car would be ready tonight
after three weeks of different stuff going wrong
one more has come up
haha, im in a good mood tonight tho
so i suppose i will just order a new master cylinder tomorrow morning







and to answer the question about making an axle
i didnt exactly MAKE one
my old one was the perfect length, so i measure it
and cut out a precise lenght from the shaft
then i put it into the middle of the new axle i had bought ( which before i worked on it was significantly shorter)
at my shop we have machinery and tools that helped me to make sure the shaft was kept perfectly straight
and i welded it myself, so im sure it will hold


its not exactly the smartest idea but i really had no other option
im still unaware of what tranny is in my car
so i couldnt find the right one
and my method was really a last resort
