2012 Chevrolet Sonic Transmission — Variants, Fitment & Tag Check

4 transmission variants are listed for the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. Compare attributes, check the tag on your unit, and find the one that fits.

More than one variant is listed. Please verify the tag on your unit before ordering. A VIN shows the part your vehicle was built with, but if it has been replaced, the tag on the unit in your vehicle may be different, and the tag on your unit is what determines fitment.

What tells the variants apart

These variants share the same listed attributes, so the attribute block does not separate them. The tag on your unit — and the interchange tag IDs listed with each variant — is how you tell them apart.
