only 1 way to know for sure
Since the ratio could have been changed then the only way to know for sure is to check it out at the rear end.
Too much trouble to remove cover and count teeth unless you want to service the fluid whlie at it.
You could jack up the car and have a buddyturn the rear wheel 1 full turn. You will be under car and mark a spot on drive shaft and count the turns it will be close enought to tell if it turns are...
just over 3 times 3:o8, or 3.5 times 3:55 or 3.75 times 3:70
If speedo and tach are working the use that.
3:55 on P225/70 tires will give ~2650 rpm
