Allocation of gearbox code letters ⇒ page 3 .
The gearbox identification data are given on the identification
plate on the top of the gearbox -arrow-.
Example:
♦ -Arrow A-: „086300045R“ = part number of basic gearbox unit
♦ -Arrow B-: „3.45577.3“ = gearbox manufacturer's production
number
♦ -Arrow C-: „KBC“ = gearbox code letters
♦ -Arrow D-: „00232“ = serial number
Note
The gearbox code letters are also given on the vehicle data stick‐
ers.
If the gearbox code letters are not on the identification plate, iden‐
tify correct gearbox version in ⇒ Electronic parts catalogue .
