Can someone tell me if this 1999 Camaro Z28 is a 2.73 or 3.23 car?

Here is the VIN#: 2g1fp22g3x2115639

Thanks a lot.

Look on your driver's side door jamb or in your glove box(should be one of those 2 places) for a sticker with a load of numbers. Look for GUx, which is the rear axle ratio.

GU2 - Axle Ratio 2.73, Rear

GU4 - Axle Ratio 3.08, Rear

GU5 - Axle Ratio 3.23, Rear

GU6 - Axle Ratio 3.42, Rear

Re: 2.73 or 3.23 gears???

Also I believe if it has a "1" on the shifter its a 3.23 car and if not it has 2.73's....

anyways, the only way to be sure is to open up the rear differental.

Re: 2.73 or 3.23 gears???

All the A4 LS1 cars can select first gear. Sometimes the RPO codes can lie too - mine was originally a 2.73 car and carries the GU2 code on the door.

Check the glove box too.

The VIN has nothing to do with the gear ratio.
