Default gears

I know ive posted stuff about this before... but does anyone know what size gears the 94s came with? or if they varied, how to find out. i just bought a Hypertech Power Tuning Module and i need to know what size gears i have to tell it my gears are a different size. It is an automatic if that counts for anything. Thanks

Check your line sheet for those codes and if the car is original, you can see what ratio you have. [8D]

If it is still there, it might be on the wall of your console. [8D]

Read Raisin's post, option codes are usually a letter followed by 2 numbers. He has the option codes for gear ratio's. [8D]

Default RE: gears

you guys are so smart [8D] thanks for all of your help. now another question... if i went out and bought the Hypertech Programmer III, that would allow me to customize the gears i have in my car and everything working with a STOCK CHIP... i dont have the hypertech chip. I bought the hypertech power tuning module thinking it was the chip but apparently it isnt. So i just need to know if the stock chip is customizable as far as gear ratios and tire sizes and stuff like that go...

Default RE: gears

If I'm not mistaken, there is no chip in your car. It has a EPROM, which the power tuning module reflashes the stock tuning curve to a more high performance curve. [8D]
