There is a chart on here somewhere on the ratio to crown wheel gear count to determine final drive ratios. The finals are 9% different they range from 3.5, 3.8, 4.1 to 4.4 roughly.
Be aware that you may install a used transmission and have the same problem. These cars are getting pretty used up, they haven’t made them since 2001.
Thanks for the warning. Any idea where this chart is, I did some searching on the site before making this post and no luck. I'm no computer wiz.
