Default Dana 44 axle ratios?

Did all 4+3 transmissions come with the Dana 44 rear axle. If so, what ratios were offered with this combination?
Thanks,
Kerry

No, all 84's had the Dana 36's whether it was an auto or 4+3. Although 85-96 all manual cars had the 44 and all auto's had 36's.

standard gear ratio for the 4+3 with the D44 was 3.07
for the M6, it became 3.45, but 3.33 and 3.54 were offered

3.07s, most of the ZR-1s had 3.45s, and there were also 3.54s.

Whooa, time out.... Are you sure that ALL manual transmission 1985's were Dana 44's??

Can you provide me with a simple way that I can tell? There is nothing that I can find in my RPO's that indicate this.
