look at your drive shaft and count. if you turn your tire 1 revolution and the shaft goes around 3.5 times 3:55:1 if it goes around just over 4 times 4:10:1 thats how 2 calculate ratio

there is NO way in hell it has 4:10s in it, 4;10 with a 26" tire would turn about 4k rpms. my car with stock 3.23 gears turned about 3200 at 70mph. Sounds like this car has the 2.73 gears.

If you were spinning 3200 at 70 then your car wasn't shifting to 4th or something. 3.23's with 26" tire puts it at 2050 rpms at 70 mph. 2.73's you'd be at just over 1700 rpm.

OP, I would agree with 4.10's

While on the highway doing 70 take the car out of overdrive and put it in drive, what your rpm's read is what gear you have.
