gear ratios Reply #7 – October 12, 2006, 06:04:25 PM whats the axle tag say, post it and somebody, or myself will decript it for you. im almost positive its a 2.73 tho, that was the standard equiptment with a manual car, unless they got the optional 3.08. it was an automatic, probley a 3.27, but i usualy see manual mustangs, so im asuming thats what it is.

The 5 speeds are 2.73 or 3.08, the 3.27 was available with auto, but you don't often see them... Quote Selected
