    Finding out Rear end gear?

    I read the FaQ but it just told how to fing out what rear end gear by counting the teeth. Is there a way to find out what you have by the VIN #? A sticker somewhere on the car maybe? Thank you!

    auto is either a 2.73 or 3.23,
    m6 3.42.
    If it's auto the option code GU5 on the door means 3.23 rear.

    Look at the RPO codes on the drivers side door:

    GU2 2.73
    GU5 3.23
    GU6 3.42

    You mean 3 or 4 channel? The NON TCS cars are 3, with one sensor on top of the pumpkin - TCS cars are 4, with a sensor at each rear wheel.

    Sorry, still not sure what you're asking...NW9 is the TCS RPO code, '99 and up have the Torsen unless it has the SLP Auburn option.
