Search a few posts. I'm sure you can find what you are looking for quite easily.

Your axle out of manual trans xj has 3.07 gears most likely and 3.55s in the axle out of the auto.

The dealer can tell you by using the vin#. There should be a tag on the cover.

If there is no tag on the rear axle, look at the front axle. They will be the same.

Automatic tranny will be 3.55's. If it's an incredibly rare 5 speed, it'll be 3.07's.
