Re: Which trans? SPID & Build Sheet Each Use Different Codes

Also - you should be aware that there are "Merchandised Options" and "Non Merchandised Options".

Merchandised Options are what the consumer/dealer selects when he says "I want an automatic", or "I want a manual trans". That selects the "family" of options, so to speak.

The Non-Merchandised option selects the specific transmission within that family based on all the other design considerations (model/series, engine, rear axle, GVW, etc).

Awesome insight on the merchandised and non-merchandised items. I never knew that, but it makes a lot of sense.
