Count driveshaft rotations compared to tire rotations. Example say you had 3.73 gears. Your driveshaft would rotate approximately 3 3/4 times to one full tire rotation.

The only thing is our tachs are known to be not all that accurate

I'm pretty sure there something in the Vin or the little card on the drivers side door that specifies it.

looking at the tag on the drivers door will tell you what it left the factory with. unless of course you think theyve been swapped

Put the car in 4th, bring it up to like 4-5k and note the speed... then using your tire size and these readings we can get you REALLY close... the higher the RPM and higher the speed the more accurate the reading...

I would just count the drive shaft revolutions, but here is a great calculator that you can use. Plus it is also great to figure out differences in tire, trans and gears on rpm. http://www.svtoa-atlanta.org/cgi-bin/trans.cgi
