Okay, since you have a 3.27the colors should be as follows depending on the ID code on the transmission. With an ID code of "YZ", the drive gear shoud be grey with 15 teeth amd the speed gear should either be brown (39 teeth) or black (40 teeth). If you have the ID code of "Y8", the driven gear should be red with 17 teeth and the speed gear will be either grey (44 teeth) or blue (45 teeth).

The ID code will be on a data plate somewhere on the transmission case.
