totally normal for a 44 to have a rubber plug...if you have a v8 its a 44...6cyl. its a 35

for the record not all V8 grands have D44, i have a 96 5.2 limited with a D35, from what i heard only a couple hundred v8 grands where made that year with a D35

also if you want to check for limited slip jack the rear end up put in in nuetral and spin one tire and if the other one spins the same direction its limited slip, i saw it on youtube so i dont know if thats a guarntee
