i didn't think that they started putting the 3.55's in auts's until 04. before then it was either 2.73 or 3.27 in sn-95 stangs

White96GTinFla said:You have 3.27s and NO sn95 stang, I dont care what anyone tells you, NEVER came with 3.55s stock.
Repeat you have 3.27s, you are pushing the same rpms that my stick 96 gt had when it had the stock 3.27s in there. Most autos that I know of in the sn95 usually had the 2.73s so I guess you are lucky in that aspect![]()
Did I mention you have 3.27s?![]()

torque187 said:really?!?! i didnt know ford made a 3.45 gear from the factory>>> what rpm are u cruisin at 80??? is urs an auto?
Sam98 said:Neither did I until I found it in the shop manual for the 98 and verified that the manufacturing sticker in the driver's side door well showed R as the axle code, which the shop manual says is a 3.45. It was driving me crazy because I always assumed I had 3.27, but I did some math after a couple of other posts and found that I didn't have 3.27 or 3.73. My first assumption again was that I had 3.55 but the math wasn't quite right. I double checked against my dyno runs that had revolutions/mile and that calculated out to exactly 3.45 so now I believe it...![]()
White96GTinFla said:Ok, thanks for pointing that out... wasnt aware of that, no need to laugh tho.
Anyhow, my entire point was that someone said the car came STOCK with 3.55s and thats simply not true, so I was assuming he still had the 3.27s. Oh well, ive been wrong before![]()

um, final drive is 1:1 for autos AND sticks...
The ODs might be different though.
