I found the chart below in the tech data section of this site. I have an LB9 but since there are two listed here how can I tell which one is in my tranny. BTW ther tranny is out of the car at the moment and won't be going back in. I have an interested buyer but he was curious what the ratios were so I said I could find out.


1987 5-sp Warner Gear
LB8 4.03 2.37 1.50 1.00 .76
LG4 2.95 1.94 1.34 1.00 .63
LB9 2.95 1.94 1.34 1.00 .63
LB9 2.95 1.94 1.34 1.00 .73


Thanks
Hodge

Easiest way to tell is by putting it into fifth gear, marking both the input and output shafts and making a refence mark on the case for each one. Then spin the output shaft around one complete turn, and see how far the input shaft has turned. If it went approximately ¾ turn, you have the .73:1. If it only went about 2/3 of a turn you have the .63:1.

There's a metal tag bolted to the tailhousing. Post the numbers from it.
