Have a look at this page I think it might come in handy for you. You can decode your VIN and find out what gears you have by looking at the fallowing.

Hope this helps.
What page are you talking about??

No Problem, but does the site work for a 90 mustang? Couldn't find information that goes back that far on the site.

According to the site Stang Illusions 5.0L posted, F= 3.45. Which is kind of puzzeling, because I thought automatics only came with 3.73's...

Are those gears for a 2.3L (4 cyl.) or for a 5.0 (V8)?

Thanks again

Either or... The RPO code for the gears will be the same regardless.

hows the acceleration with it, any better, or the same; since it doesn't rev higher and doesn't effect fuel economy
