Find My Engine or Transmission

Search listed engines and transmissions by year, make, model or code. If nothing matches, send the details with your VIN and we will source a unit for you.

How to identify your engine and transmission

Engine code

Look for a label under the hood or on the timing cover, or a code stamped on the engine block. On many North American vehicles the eighth character of the VIN identifies the engine. See how to find your engine code and how to match an engine using your VIN.

Transmission code

Most transmissions have a tag or stamped plate on the case. Some manufacturers also list it on a build label in the door jamb or glove box. See how to find your transmission code.

VIN

Your 17-character VIN is on the driver side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield, on the driver door jamb and on your registration and insurance documents.

Compatibility questions

How do I know an engine will fit my vehicle?

Start with the engine code, then the year, model, drivetrain and any emissions or ECU differences. Send us your VIN and the code from your current engine and we will check the unit against your vehicle before fulfilment. Choosing a vehicle on the website does not on its own guarantee fitment.

How do I know a transmission will fit?

Transmissions are matched by the code on the case tag, the drivetrain (FWD, RWD, AWD or 4WD), the engine it is paired with, the number of speeds and the electronics. Send your VIN and, if you can, a photo of the tag on your current transmission.

Why do you ask for my VIN?

Engines and transmissions can change within the same model year depending on engine, trim, drivetrain, market and build date. The VIN identifies your exact vehicle so we can check those details before your order ships. It is on the driver side of the dashboard, the driver door jamb and your registration.

Where do I find my engine code?

Look for a label under the hood or on the timing cover, a code stamped on the engine block, or your owner’s manual. On many North American vehicles the eighth character of the VIN identifies the engine. If you are not sure, send us the VIN and we will help.

Where do I find my transmission code?

Most transmissions have a tag or stamped plate on the case. Some manufacturers also list it on a build label in the door jamb or glove box. Your VIN often lets us identify it too. See how to find your transmission code.

What does the mileage on a listing mean?

Where a listing shows mileage, it is the mileage recorded for that unit or its donor vehicle. If a listing has no mileage, it has not been confirmed, so ask us before ordering. See what used engine mileage means.

What do Used, Rebuilt, Remanufactured, Engine Core and Take-Out mean?

Used: removed from a donor vehicle and sold as found. Rebuilt: disassembled and repaired with replacement parts, with the work listed. Remanufactured: rebuilt to a production specification by a remanufacturer. Engine Core: sold for rebuilding, not as a running engine. Take-Out: removed from a newer vehicle, often during an upgrade or swap.

Do engines and transmissions come with a warranty?

Warranty terms vary by product. When terms are confirmed for a unit they are shown on its listing; otherwise contact us before ordering. See warranty information.

How are engines and transmissions shipped?

By freight, usually on a pallet, to addresses across Canada. Delivery to a business with a loading dock is usually simplest; ask us about residential delivery. Shipping is quoted according to product and destination. See shipping.

Do you ship internationally?

International export is available for many destinations. We confirm options for your country before you order. Import duties, taxes and customs clearance at the destination are generally the buyer’s responsibility. See international shipping.

Can I return an engine or transmission?

Return eligibility depends on the unit and the reason for the return. Read our returns and refunds policy and contact us before sending anything back.

Should a professional install my engine or transmission?

We recommend installation by a qualified mechanic or repair shop. Before installing, compare the replacement with your old unit, transfer any parts that are not included, replace seals and gaskets as your mechanic advises, and fill with the correct fluids.
