The way I understand it D36 is Auto trans and D44 is Manual trans. I also think that 3 different ratio's where available for auto's 2.56 2.7? and a 3.08.
But I am sure someone will know for sure.

DANA 36 if its original, came with all 84s and all 85-96 automatics. 2.59:1, 2.73:1, 3.07:1 and 3.31:1 were the ratios used in them by the factory over the full 84-96 production run. 96 will either be a 3.07 or a 2.59, as far as i know they didnt have a 2.73 in 96. 3.31:1 was only in 84s.

You can also get 3.54:1 and 3.73:1 for the DANA 36s (im not sure of any others)

Do you mean Townsville? As in on the north-east coast in the state of Queensland? I live down south of there if that is where you mean. Next time youre over this way make sure you drop in mate!!

There were only two rear axle ratios available for automatics from the factory in Model Year `96.

Standard 2.59 RPO-GM1
Optional 3.07 RPO-G44
