Transmission questions
 

I have a 07 Saturn Vue 2.2l i4 ecotec fwd automatic. My first question is, Which Transmission is in it? Three vin number is 5gzcz33d17s841325. the numbers 4-8, Cz33d are supposed to be the model, body type, restraint system, Transmission type and engine code. So then what part of that tells the trans code? Is it 3? Then which trans does that translate to? I researched it online and I've narrowed it down to the 4 speed automatic GM-4T45-E or the 5 speed Honda H5. I changed my trans filter and gasket cause it was leaking and after it's all said and done it's still leaking. Now I'm tripping trying to find out why. I'm looking for the torque specs on the trans pan bolts. Maybe I didn't tighten them enough? What's y'alls thoughts on the matter? Thanks in advance!

Did you buy a transmission filter kit for a 4t45 or a Honda? I doubt they use a Honda transmission with a GM engine. The V6 in the VUE is a Honda engine.

Both of those transmissions are referenced as being used in the 07 Saturn vue 2.2l 4cylinder. It doesn't say how to tell. I bought the one that was for the 07 Saturn vue 2.2l ecotec 4cyl that looked like the one on my car. It didn't say anywhere which transmission either one was for. There was 2. I have the one that's shaped like an L. The other one was kinda just rectangular. Is there a code on the trans or something?

You have the 4t45
the honda trans only mates to the Honda v6

Ok thanks

Build info down a bit on page. L61 4T45E

Vehicle history list is bogus as it contains entries prior to 2007 and is clearly drawn from some Central database of ****.

Specs at top of page are wrong, specs lower down and option descriptions seem reasonable.

Cannot vouch for site.

Ifalready looked at that. I don't trust it cause a lot of the info doesn't seem to be right. I downloaded a service manual and it says 10ft lbs for the pan bolts. Thanks again guys

Apologies. I lost track of your original request for the torque specs. I found a GM document that references them specifically for Saturn's. 10-ft pounds it is. Dream plug is 22-ft lb.

You're good man, thanks. The specs you found and the ones I found match. That's cool. Again, thanks

So the next questing I have is could i switch it to awd? I wouldn't of even thought about it but I noticed when i was assessing my rear drum breaks that the drums have the spot for the cv axles and makes me curious if is just need to add components to if or it it would be a complex deal. Like do i have t change the transmission or dies the 07 2.2l ecotec Saturn vue with 4t45e trans have awd components that just bolt up? What would the process be?
