only way to know what you have is to pull the rear cover and look. for some reason that's always the last thing people want to do. usually they post on here and get a dozen differant answers about spinning wheels, codes and such. no one want's to jack the car up get under it and pull the cover and you'll know the gear ratio too.

only if the car has never been modded or repaired...people like myself love to change things in these cars...do as Ede says and get under there..there is alot more to swapping a rearend than pulling the inspection plate.....
