In another forum, we have been discussing this also for the manual
trans. All of my earlier "Without Guesswork" books show the T-3 auto
differential ratio as 3.67:1 and the T-4 as a 3.91:1 ratio. 
But we have been finding on the manual trans ratios, that the books do
not agree over the years. Like VW just started generalizing. Like the
early books show the T-3 with a 4.13 and the T-1 with a 4.37. But then a
couple years later, the book will show them all having the same ratio.
