Guys I am in the process of building a hybrid car and trying to source some C4 parts

Any help would be usefull

Thank You
You can identify the Dana 44 with 2 bolts at the top of the cover instead of one bolt in the top center of the cover. The 36 has a total of 8 bolts in the rear cover while the heavier 44 has 9 bolts in the rear cover.


to determine ratio:
with the car in neutral, (and on a lift) rotate the rear drive shaft by hand. While turning, count the number of drive shaft revolutions required for one revolution of the tire. If the drive shaft turns approximately 3-3/4 times, you have a 3.73 ratio, etc. It may help to use a piece of chalk mark a reference point on both the tire and drive shaft.


Number of Turns Approximate Gear Ratio
2 - 3/4 2.72:1 or 2.77:1
3 - 0 3.07:1
3 - 1/2 3.54:1
3 - 3/4 3.73:1

Thank You 89X2

Thats what I needed .

Do you know if the 3'73'S are the tallest I would find? in a stock rear end

Thanks Again
3.73's would be an aftermarket rear - early 89's had the "steepest" gears offered out of Bowling Green and were 3.54's - later 89's had 3.33's while 3.45's became common in later cars.

Early C4's (1988 and older) had 3.07 as the top gear offered in the D44 carrier.

Hope this helps :m
