The year of the car it came out of would help, as would the number on the sticker on the edge of the bellhousing. I'm willing to bet it's a 4.11 final drive though...

It should be just as strong as your old tranny. There's a good chance it has a lot less mileage on it than the one you're replacing too.

It will go right in, but you need to check the TY number to confirm the gearing. That list^^ is not complete, there is an off chance it's a 4.44 or a 3.90. That said, it's more than likely a 4.111.

Somewhere around here I have a complete gearing chart with all the TY reference numbers that I've assembled out of various partial lists off the net. It was a PITA, but I've confirmed almost all of them up to 2006 when I compiled it. I'll dig it up.
Cheers,
morgan

You better share that - I've got a makeshift one from what was available from north ursalia....

It's backed up and removed from my workstation, at work, so I'm digging around now.
