  The book says a 3.54 car uses a red 36 tooth gear with 235/60 R-15 tires. A 4.10 car uses a white 42 tooth gear with 235/ 60 R-15's. But with your 275's it might feel, and be more like a 3.23 car which uses a 32 tooth gear. :icon_smile_big:

A 3.54 gear with a 28" tire calls for a 33 tooth pinion.

The color is yellow and the current P/N is 52068155.
