its a 1992 gt and i thought it had a stock 3.08 rear gear from rolling the wheel 1 turn and counting the driveshaft but it has the 23 tooth speed gear in it i thought it should be an 18 tooth gear for that ratio.

i know almost nothing about the history of this car or its mods other than a dymomax catback, frame conectors and some body mods.
so, what gear ratio does the car have stock and if not a 23, what gears do the 23 go with? thanks

I believe that the 23 tooth white gear is usually found in cars with a 3.73 rear axle ratio.

23 tooth with 8-tooth drive gear (found on 1990+ t5) is for 3.73s
