Default C5 Transaxel Value

I changed the rear end in my '97 C5. This was probably in 2000 or so. I went from whatever was stock to a 3.73(+/-) GM unit. At the time the car probably had no more than 15000 miles on it (has only 40k now). I was wondering if such a unit would have any value. The car has been babied for all 11 years now. Thanks for any advise.
Mike

First is your car a A4 or MN6?
If A4 was it a 2:73s or 3:15s?

If 2:73s... not worth much. 3:15s will bring a little more.

If MN6 3:42s... about $500.

Uh oh. I don't know those answers. The car was #771 built of the new C5 body style. It is an automatic car. So perhaps it is a 2.73? I imagine some hot rod guy would like to have it. It seems happy in the garage so it might have to stay. Probably worth more 10 years from now. Thanks for the help.

Post the last 8 digits of your vehicle number and we'll see if it was 2.73 or 3.15, if it's is 3.15 it has some value. If it's the 2.73 well I hope you have a boat, they make great anchors

I just did the same thing. I went from 2.73 to 3.42 and just about gave away the old rear. I am trying real hard not to keep the old " junk" just laying around.
