Anybody know how to ID the final drive ratio on a Metro or Swift by using the VIN? If not, how else could I positivley know what I have. (without opening up the trans & counting teeth) Thanks

Don't the ratios change between Manual and automatic trans?

Yes, drastically. So much that they're never discussed. Anyone who cares enough to consider swapping the trans would never consider putting another automatic in.
