It's either 3.23 or 3.43. If you look in your glove box there's a list of codes look at them then go to the forth gen section ( not the v6 specific one) there's a sticky that has what each code is. Hope that helps ya.

Ok so I thought I'd look it up for you and here they are:
3.08 is code AU4, 3.23 is AU5 and 3.42 is code AU6.
So there should be list in your car glove box with a list of RPO codes and find one of the ones I listed and that's your gear ratio.

As far as I know, most of the 95 manuals had 3.23 gears. That's what's in the back of mine. I'm replacing them for 3.42 posi.

Oops I messed up the codes. It supposed to be GU4 GU5 GU6.
AU3 is power locks on side doors.

3.42 is pretty good gearing for all around driving. If you want 3.73s then get the rear diff from a z28. Then you'll gain posi which will help for acceleration with those gears.

3.73 gears are the gear ratio from the 2nd and 3rd gen Z28's.
4th gens has 3.42 manual and 3.23 auto. I recommend a higher ratio for manual and lower for auto. Otherwise you'll be at higher rpm on the highway. I find 3.42 on the manual and 3.23 on auto just about a perfect balance for highway and power leaving the line. With posi of course!
