August 25, 200916 yr 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.
August 25, 200916 yr Author Sorry folks , It's a 1996 Impreza L AWD wagon 2.2 auto . There was no tags on the rear end , just that sticker.
August 25, 200916 yr Sorry folks , It's a 1996 Impreza L AWD wagon 2.2 auto . There was no tags on the rear end , just that sticker. it should be a 4.11.
August 25, 200916 yr Author 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 ..........
August 26, 200916 yr 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.
August 26, 200916 yr 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.

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
