There might be some things to consider other than just SPEEDO/ODO correction. It might be nice to wait and see if someone with a '94+ might post and be able to maybe mention if thhere are any other differences in the "tune" 2.59 to the 3.07. I'd think with the e-version of the 4L60 that there very well could be. If you wanted to do any other minor tweaks now would be the time to consider it. Do you have the 3.07 bought/installed yet OR - you've time to plan?

The D36 certainly seems to do the job for most. Lack of proper maintenance will kill any rear. I didn't know that a D36 was "CHEAP" - availability seems to dictate/create pricing. Maybe you meant "lesser quality" as "CHEAP" and I don't believe that either.

D36 is fine for most driver cars not doing hard launches or with slicks, especially with an automatic.
Kinda like Blue tag vs Black tag ZF 6 speeds. Most will never break a blue tag unless abused.
Of course, I have Black tags and D44 in both of my c4's.... I'm as guilty of "better safe than sorry" as anybody.

If your 1996 is like my 1995 (IDK how your tune is since mines OBDI not OBDII) but your shift points will be off to. (In 95 the shift points are by speed not rpm so when I when from 2.59 to 3.54. I put used tuner cat to change my rear gear ratio in the tune and then went on a drive it was bouncing off the limiter without shifting at WOT (wide open throttle) the good news is my speedometer was reading correctly.
