All manual LTx C4's are 3.45 rear gear. Here are the list of RPO's that go with certain rear end ratios:

GM1 2.59 Rear Axle Ratio
GM3 3.45 Rear Axle Ratio (8.5 in. Ring Gear)-Manual D44
GU2 2.73 Rear Axle Ratio
G44 3.07 Rear Axle Ratio

The manual's got D44's, autos got D36's. The RPO sticker should be under the center console lid or under the lid of the jack compartment behind the passenger seat.
