Fairtax4me Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There's usually a metal tag that has some numbers on it. That would have the size of the ring gear and the ratio on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprezaII Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Sorry folks , It's a 1996 Impreza L AWD wagon 2.2 auto . There was no tags on the rear end , just that sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprezaII Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Johnceggleston , 4.11 , that seems to be a really high gear ratio, because it seems to rev about 2575 rpm or real handy to that , at 60 mph in auto overdrive. So they must have some wicked automatic high overdrive gear. There is so much to learn about these cars... thanks for the help... You know , Fairtax4me , is was funny , that there was not a tag , just that sticker on the diff .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 There might not be a tag on these cars. I'm used to American cars, and they almost always have a tag under one of the cover bolts on the differential that has the ratio and a few other numbers stamped on it. I can't find any info about transmission gear ratios, but from what i've seen most 4 cylinder cars have a .85 - .80:1 overdrive gear.

Gloyale Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Post the # on the bellhousing of the transmission. That will be easier to look up by code than the rear diff. 2750 at 60 MPH sounds more like a 3.9 ratio to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is having a sleepover at the transmission shop , Torque convertor bearing started howling bad , so they are replacing the convertor with a new one.. I will get them to get the # on the bell housing , and they may know what the rear end ratios are too. Will post further info... Thanks , folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
