Re: rear ends

Check the RPO list !
It either in the console OR in the luggage compartment lids.


It should have a G in the first letter


Also look for G-80 and possibly G-92.


(depending on year)

Re: rear ends

Yup, check the spi/ rpo code decal, it should be in the console.
Is the car a 5speed or auto? That would help our guessing game.

Re: rear ends

Formula LG4/A4 - 2.73
Formula LG4/M5 - 3.08?
Formula LB9/A4 - 2.73
Formula LB9/MM5 - 3.45
Formula 350 - 3.27

There was no G92 option on the Firebird in 1987. It was all tied up with packages. For example, (Cars sold in the US) All Formula & GTA LB9/MM5 cars have the 3.45 axle, or 3.42 axle. All Formula L03/A4, LG4/A4, LB9/A4 have the 2.73, The L03 & LG4 with M5 got the 3.08, the Formula & GTA 350 cars all got the 3.27 or 3.23 axle. The Trans Am was a little different, with the LB9/M5 got the 3.08, but some years got an optional 3.42, and the Trans Am with the 350 I would have to look into.

If its a 9 bolt it will have the gear ratio stamped on a tag. 10 bolts don't.
