From that:

3.52:1 1.3L SOHC Swift up to mid year ’95
3.79:1 98-01 4 cylinder Metro
3.85:1 XFi Metro
3.95:1 mid year ’95 up 1.3L SOHC Swift
4.10:1 Swift GT, GTi, 95 and earlier Metro (3 cylinder)
4.39:1 Metro Convertible, 96+ Metro

Close enough to how I remember it.
Nice article, thanks for finding that for me. Did the 3 cylinder ones after 95 use a different ratio? I don't see that answered here. The ones I found in the salvage yard I referred to are all 95+ 3-cyl non-xfis. There is one XFi available for more money (~$150 I think). I'm fine with going a little higher in ratio, but don't want to do too much as this car already struggles to maintain it's speed going up one particular hill on my commute. I live with losing some speed myself, but it seems like every summer that area is under construction and gets cut down to 1 lane either way so no one can pass me (This is a divided 4-lane interstate.)
