  Here is the number on one of my cases (see attached photo). Of course if it was a replacement case from the factory it would not have a number.

  Hey Charlie thank you for posting the picture of your vin. it clearly shows the prefix. I believe when tom said that I have to remove the floor boards he was referring to the transmission cover . I hope so thank you very much for the help

  I think the floor boards lap over the flange on the transmission cover, so floor boards have to come out before the transmission cover can be removed.

  Jay, you are 100% correct.
