Some time ago Mike Mercury posted that you could tell what gears you have by noteing your RPMs at a certine speed. Unfortunately I don't remember the specs.Do a search on Mike or, if he's not napping today, he may chime in.

You can go the the Corvette Musuem website, and order not only the original window sticker, but also the build sheet for your car. That is what I did, to find out my 99 A4 came wiht the options 3.15 differential.

Here is where you can order yours:

I'll be doing this converter when I swap out the cam. Should be a lot of fun then!

Happy New Year!

It is stamped on a plate under the car near the diff oil plug--also sometimes it is written in chalk on the diff cover---most any place has stall converters--A popular brand is Yank or Vigilante--Those are high end brands and run around $800---I've seen them as cheap as $200--mine is from Phoenix Transmissions--Was $385--kinda middle of the road- works great - with warranty--
