dont know if that helps any, but that was something i found in the 2.3 forum!

Yeah, for a 5-spd. Auto's are a whole different ball game. Plus the torque converter keeps it from being entirely accurate. I could probably get close though but I need the RPM's and speed in your highest gear, but not OD. I assume that'd be third?

no its a 4 speed! so i guess to figure out my gears, i would have to look at the rear end? where exactly would i look?

I was saying those ratios you posted are for the 5-spd manual. Yours should be a 3 spd with OD (basically a 4-spd auto).

On the diff, there should be an inspection tag hanging off one of the bolts. Post what it says, and I'll let you know. Once you read it, you may be able to see it though. It's fairly easy with an open diff. It can get a little more tricky (but not much) with locking diffs.

i saw it and thought it was funny! so i put it there! my car was getting kinda old!

There's one that cracks me up every time the guy posts it under another response. If I could download pics here at work I'd use it for my avatar. It's the same little yellow guy with a sign, but it has an arrow pointing up that says, "I'm with Stupid." I though it'd be cool under my name :D ;) :p

Be forewarned-- It can be hard to read, but on it somewhere. For instance, mine says "3L08". There's other crap in front of and behind it I believe so you kinda have to search. Also, it can be hard to read through the paint they use.
