Default Stock Gear Ratio

Does anybody know what the stock gear ratio is for a 2008 GT. Some people are telling me its 3.31 and some people are telling me its 3.55. Where can i find this in writing also.

99% sure that the 3.31 is standard for both the Auto and the Manual transmission in '08. The 3.55 isan option with the Manual only. Damn law makers in congress withtheir CAFE standards keeping us down.

yeah i think the 05-06 had the 3.55 standard and 07-08 3.55 is an upgrade option only. I believe the code on the inside of yourdriver sidedoor isCG or BGfor the 3.31 gears.
[align=left]The axle ratios are: The transmission codes are:[/align][align=left]• BG — 3.31 — non-limited slip, base vehicle with— Base[/align][align=left]manual or automatic transmission [/align][align=left]• CD — 3.55 — limited slip, GT with manual [/align][align=left]• CG — 3.31 — limited slip, GT with automatic[/align][align=left]transmission[/align]
2005
straight out of the ford idetification codes for 2005

Look underneath the rear bumper and you should see a sticker that states that on the rear axle.
