Rear gearing ratio for us. First number is year, second is manual tranny, third is auto. All of these apply specifically to V6's. Exceptions and special comments noted afterwards. Taken from the tech data section of this site.

82 3.23 3.08
83 3.42 3.23 (A4) 3.08 (A3)
84 3.42 3.23
85 3.42 3.42
86 3.42 3.42
87 3.42 3.42
88 3.42 3.42
89 3.42 3.42
90 3.42 3.23 ("I think you've been cheated! I think the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's a$$ and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress!!" nevermind, sorry, I'm hung over and watched Full Metal Jacket last night, sorry...)
91 3.42 3.23
92 3.42 3.23

I didn't realize our gearing was that good, and it is surprising that the A4's started getting shafted in 90. I'm glad I've got an 88...

I thought the 3.42s were common knowledge.. tho I didn't know about the 3.1 autos getting 3.23s.. that sucks =P Note GM did realize that with the 2.8 we needed high gearing just to get some semblance of power.
