Look in the glovebox and look for one of these codes. What ever one you see is the gear ratio that you have. Also, if you see a G80, that means you have the factory limited slip differential.

GT5 Rear Axle: 4.10
GU4 Rear Axle: 3.08
GU6 Rear Axle: 3.42

I think Fast4.8 has them all, if you find one of his posts just go to his web site in his signature.
