Locate the transmission information section of the report. It should indicate which automatic transmission is installed in the car.
Method 2: Technical documentation
Read the technical documentation or the vehicle’s operating manual. They usually contain information about the transmission, including the type of automatic transmission.
Method 3: Request information from the dealer
Contact an authorized dealer of the car brand and provide them with the VIN number. They will be able to provide you with accurate information about the type of automatic transmission installed in the car.
Method 4: Check under the hood
Open the hood and inspect the transmission. Depending on the car model, there may be a sticker or plate indicating the type of automatic transmission.
