I know GU2 is 2.73, GU4 is 3.08, GU5 is 3.23 and GU6 is 3.42. Go to this link and look at all the codes that start with "G".

I thought ALL H.O. cars came with 3.73 rear gears, automatic or not. My '84 H.O. has an automatic with the 3.73 rear axle and is verified with the GT4 code on the RPO label.
