So, after alot of debate and headaches, I have an early 2002 Kia Rio transmission, I have it on my kitchen table, and I have it apart. Can someone help me determine wether it's a remake of an E, F, or G series transmission, and if there are ANY aftermarket LSD's that will bolt to the ring gear?
I'll post a how-to along with this so you know what's been done.
Tools Needed:
10, 12, 14mm sockets
1 1/4" socket
3/8" ratchet & extention
Electric impact wrench
Prybar -or- rubber mallet
flathead screwdriver (punch is nice too)
Hammer
Marker
Egg Crate for storing pieces
The transmission..

Step Three:
Remove 4 bolts from the housing, 1-12mm bolt 3-14mm bolts. The 14mm bolts all have springs and detent balls behind them, remove those with a magnet, don't mix them up.
This pic is of the 12mm bolt, right below the clutch linkage bracket. The other 3 are on the opposite side clustered together.

I already went thru the entire album and resized them all, but only a few ACTUALLY resized...I'll go thru and do it again.
I have a picture of the bolt pattern for the ring gear on the way as well, it looks like it's 1.9"x8 -or- 49mmx8
