I'm re-doing the rear. The guy at Bair's says I won't notice the difference between 3.08 and 3.36. What do you think?

Re: Gearhead poll.... (verskel)
I think mine are 3:08; stock with a BB an TH400. How can you tell from the outside? What's the "code"?

There's a quick way. Jack up the rear of the car and put it on stands. Make a mark on your drive shaft. Turn one of the rear tires one full revolution while counting the number of revolutions the driveshaft makes.
Just about three revs or so = 3.08
Three and half or so = 3.55
Almost 4 = 3.70 or 3.73
Four = 4.11-ish
And so on.
