Best way, if you know your tranny and rear diff are matched, is to rotate the driveshaft with the wheels off the ground and compare driveshaft rotations with axle rotations.

The back of the rear diff will tell you the ratio but there's no saying someone changed the gears inside.

1) Ask the former owner.
2) post the transmission number so we can see what it SHOULD be.
3) tell us who you got it from, because not that many people have swapped trannys.
4) remove the rear first and count the teeth!

ok out of all the options I just read...im going to go with geting the tranny number and post it tomorrow.....im guessing there isnt anythig that you can just look at the trans and see if it is a SVX trans or not.....the whole removing the diff and counting the teeth kinda blows out the whole reason I made the post...to save time and work...and to the first post....I know my trans and diff match...if they didnt the car would have only worked for a day or so after the trans was put in.....I need to know how to tell if I have a legasy trans in my car or not ...thanks for the info guys.....ill post the numbers tomorrow
