Which differential does my 96' <auto> have?
Greetings,
Is there an definative way to determine which differential my 96' Coupe (auto) has? I suspect it's a Dana 44 or 36 but would like to confirm which one. At the same time, I want to find out the gear ratio.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rich

Rich, all C4 autos came with dana 36. Check on the underside of your console door for code GM1 (which is 2:59 gears), GU2 (2:73) or G44 (3:07). If you think the rear has been changed to a dana 44, you can look at the back top of the carrier cover. The 44 has 3 bolts across the top while the 36 only has 2. :cheers:

Its definitely a Dana 36 unless its been changed. Look in your glove box and get your option codes. I think G92 was the performance axle option (3.07 gears in the auto). Someone else can confirm the option code and ratio. But you definitely have a 36 if its stock.

My understanding is that the G92 rpo just means that you have the performance option. You will also have either GU2 (2:73) if your car is a vert, or G44 (3:07) if your car is a coupe. :cheers:
