Hey,
if you can put it in 5th, you could turn the CV's and count how many times the input shaft turns?
hoping it's a 3.7 hey...

Wouldn't you have to put it in 4th gear for that?
I thought 4th gear is usually the 1:1 ratio.... correct me if I'm wrong tho!

Turn the thing upside down , pull out the drain plug and you should be able to see the crown wheel, count the teeth , if there is 37 it is 3.7.

Mike is on the money, easiest method is to count the teeth...too easy!

i can't find any confirmation but i think AndrewT is right with 4th being 1 to 1?

usually 4th is one to one, fifth being an overdrive, that's how the new cars get the good economy with the extra power, noticed we're getting 6 speed manuals in performance vehicles (such as holden) now?

anyways, hope this is right, its usually the case, otherwise i don't see any use in the fifth gear excpet that you have closer gears ranges in the lower gears...

According to the info I found on USMB (I never said it wasn't useful) your gear ratios are
1st-----2nd----3rd-----4th-----5th----Final
3.545--2.110--1.448--1.088--0.871--3.7

No garuntee on acuracy but hope it helps.
