Look at the under side of the passenger side storage compartment lid in the rear of your car. If you see G92 you have 3.15 gears, if you don't see G92 you have 2.73 gears. Or you can put your car in 3rd and drive at a steady 75 MPH if your RPM is at 3150 RPM you have 3.15s if you have 2730 RPM you have 2.73 gears.

Also there is a printed tag on the rear itself.

Look at the rear cover from the back of the car. It is a white printed tag with black letters and it only shows the ratio.

Mine was hand written on the back of the carrier. I made the 1 a 7, then had to cross it out and put 4.10.
