Re: ring gear i.d (vettedreams)
If you are trying to figure out the ratio just could the number of teeth on the ring gear and the number of teeth on the pinion then divide the lower number into the bigger number and it will tell you the ratio.

Re: ring gear i.d (vettedreams)
According to my book a ring gear with 37333908 is from a rear with 4.11 gears. The pinion should be stamped 3885945. The pinion should have 9 teeth and the ring gear should have 37 teeth. Kind of rare as the 4 series carrier is not very plentiful. The other numbers are date codes

Re: ring gear i.d (Gordonm)
The "10 37" tells me it's a 3.70 set. 37 teeth on the ring gear, and 10 on the pinion. The other is the date "month---year", Feb. 76. Chuck
