How do you know it has the "perf. axle package"? Did you find the RPO, "G92"? If you did, there will be another "G" RPO number that will designate the gear ratio.

RACE ON!!!

1989 had two 6 speed ratios 3.54 early and 3.33 late. Look under RPO code list for your ratio.

OH! I was just going by what you said. G87 designates "8.5" ring gear", which all manual transmission cars after 1984 have. One more "G" code other than "G92" should do it. Otherwise you can jack up the rear end and turn both rear wheels 1 revolution while someone counts the drive shaft revolutions.

RACE ON!!!
