My guess is 3.08. If you know what the 4th gear ratio is then you could work it out directly.

nah its 3.08, my au sits at 1850 and has 16 inch slightly lower profile, and is 3.08.

do you have larger rims skidder? coz that will lower your highway rpm's. either that or your gauge is slightly out :P

if its the original diff its more than likely 2.92

my ea had 2.92 and sat on about 1875 rpm@100
when i fitted a 3.08 ratio it sat on 1950 rpm@100
and it now has a 3.27 and it sits on 2100 rpm@100

and yes i changed the speedo gear to suit the ratio
to keep the speedo correct

hope that helps

Thanks for the info Troyman, just another question, did you have to do any mods other than the speedo gear in the auto to get the trans to shift at the right speed when changing diff ratios?

mine is manual..
when you change your diff ratio you should change the speedo gear to suit and that should keep your shift points

theres a calculator on here it was awsome for when i changed my diff gears. the changes it predicted were spot on so i'm still driving without the speedo gear for now till i get one. i had a c4 in the garage but someone got to it before me!

death to the 2.92s my fuel economy actually got better switching to a 3.23 lsd ! which i would imagine would be more rotating mass = more driveline drag. but the motor works much less doing the same thing now & it doesn't feel like your trying to pull a b double.
