With the tranny codes, that circle with the:<br /><br />4 67 DX is something like month= 4 year= 67 DX is the plant code (?) and the other circle= 17 with the three small dots is something like the shift and crew that made it. (?) So it is possible that it came with the car since they used the tranny from the previous year. Something like that. I read it somewhere.
