Actually if noone has been into your diffs there should be a metal tag (usually on the rear to the left side) with the gear ratio on it. The only other way I know of to identify for sure is to pull the cover and look at the ring gear and find what the ratio is it will look something like this 41:10 You divide the smaller number into the bigger number for the ratio.

Re: 95 yj ring & pinion?

You should have 3.07, it's the most common with the 4.0 5spd in that year jeep. To be sure, check the first three digits of the metal tag bolted to either front or rear diff cover.

Welcome to jeepz, diggin the screen name. Can I call you Buck?

Re: 95 yj ring & pinion?

you can also jack the rear up, count the number of times the tire spins to one pinion rotation, that will give you a ball park. 6 cyl ax 15 yj's had 3.07:1 but there were a few with 3.54:1

so if the tire spins 3 revolutions, 307's spinds 3 1/2 times 354's





thats not backwards is it.. crap brain hurts..

Re: 95 yj ring & pinion?

There should be two rows of numbers, and the first three digits in one row should resemble 3 07 .

Check both diffs.
