i need some info.
i am looking to change out the final drive on my xB.
i need to get the part numbers from an Echo Hatchback 5 speed tranny final drive ring and pinion...

as the hatchback was never sold here in the US i can't get the info from any US dealers.

if anybody has a good contact for parts in/from canada...let me know.

if i can get a vin number from an Echo Hatchback with a 5 speed i can call up and get part numbers...but i can't find any.

can not use parts fron the Sedans...wrong gears...

please help...

 

p.s. don't post VIN numbers in the thread....

PM them to me. thanks.

He's in Alberta, I think, so maybe he can help you out.

I checked out a Canadian destination Echo today in my catalogue, but it came up with the same part# for the ring gear as an American one even though it was a different model number. Sorry!

Search eBay for echos, they list VINs there so that people can CARFAX them.

 

um why do you need it from a hatch ? doesnt the regular echo have teh same ratio? hmm. still out of commission waitin on the tranny huh d?

 

looked at ebay...only had 6...all of them sedans...wrond model.

 

the final drive in our xA and xB is 4.31

as you can see, the drop to the sedan ratio is too much...


and the tranny was finnaly taken apart last week for the gears...
the other time was the burnt out clutch....

 

OK some googling got me this. Does it help?

was the Canadian Echo a 5 speed hatch back???

do you have the part numbers? i can compare them to what i have.

 

it does a bit...

i did some googling after work today and found a dealer in Canada with a 2002 5 speed hatch...
i called them and got the vin...
now i need to find a parts dealer in canada that can look up the parts for me...
no US dealers will have the ability to look them up as we never got that model...
