All auto cars have Dana 36.
You need a Dana 36 gear set with "thick" gears to reuse your existing 2 series carrier.

You can get 3.75:1 gears for either one, but they are not interchangeable. A 2 series needs a thicker ring gear than a 3 series.
The D44 only came with manual transmissions.

My RPO codes are on a sticker in the center console, under the arm rest.
