Title: HELP!!! Is it a 4 speed or is it a 3 speed???
Post by: olija on September 04, 2008, 10:48:04 PM
I was looking to buy a 1993 Sidekick 4 door with an automatic transmission, then swap the diff gears to 5.13's to run 31's comfortably. HOWEVER, I just found out that the 4 speed auto already has the 5.13 diff gears!!!!! :-[

I was all ready to buy this rig as it is in mint condition and I even put a $200 deposit on it. Please, PLEASE tell me this thing is a 3 speed:

Any way to tell by looking at the shift handle? It also had some sort of "Power Mode" button that made it shift at higher RPM's. Thanks, Austin

I may be wrong, but I if I remember correctly the 4-speeds have 1, 2, D, and OD on the shifter. Also, the Power Mode button is not on the 3-speed.

There are a couple of revisions (deletions, actually) I need to make to my list.....

92-98 4dr 1.6L MPFI 3speed auto. 4.30
94-98 2dr 1.6L MPFI 4speed auto. 5.125

I don't believe those body style/tranny combos were ever available, so they can be removed from the list.
