WE DON"T KNOW - PLEASE STOP YELLING ! :lol

We're really not sure. All the details from the manufacturer (and all the interest) is in the manual transmission. For the most part, people who care about performance or mileage simply throw automatics away in order to get to the real cars faster. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Welcome to the forum, Krusty :coffee
'tis true...the automatics don't get the gas mileage that the manual transmissions do.
Seems like they were bought for people who putted around town or the occasional 55mph highways back in the day.
The suggestion of taller tires is the only real option you have to reduce the screaming transmission at highway speeds.
It would be super if there was some modification for the automatic transmissions to accommodate a taller gear, but that's an engineering issue.
If you're serious about improving mpgs....add the aeromods Bad Bent suggested....and/or switch to a manual transmission....as others have done with good success.

Quick scan through the brochures says 3.95 with a three cylinder and 3.61 with a four cylinder. I don't think the two are interchangeable because of physical mounting size. Somebody did a thread earlier about the difference between the two, I'm a little bit hazy on the facts on this bit. Think it was Bill CNC, but I'm not sure.
Woodie is indeed correct, Bill CNC discovered that the difference between the ribbed vs. smooth plate prevented them from being interchangeable.
