Default What gears do I have?

I finally went and grabbed the axle code off of my door tag and it is E, what gears do I have, I'm think 3.08s.

I've got an AOD that chart doesn't work for me, it's only for manual transmissions.

Assume you have 1:1 in third gear and then pick any trans combo that is 1:1 in 4th gear.

Ya I know, it's one hell of a lot better than those 3.73s.

Actually, it's not. 3.73's would be quicker.

+1 How are your 3.27's better than 3.73's in an AOD?
