also forgot to tell its a 95 honda passport w/ disc brakes/ltd. slip rear diff.
4WD,need to replace the rear diff. ring gear,that has two broken teeth on
it,but there are two rear end ratios available.is there an easier wway to find
out then counting teeth?

You can compare the number of rotations of the drive shaft to the number of
rotations to the rear wheel.  Example....if it take 4.1 rotations of the
drive shaft to get one complete rotation if the rear wheels, you have 4:10
gears.

Do you know how to pull the axle shafts?  I need to pull mine but I figure
out how to pull them.  I don't see any retainer on the outer end nor do I
see any type of C clip internal to diff.

ok,sounds easy enough,thought maybe there was a way to check it out thru the
vin #.  i wont be doing the work,i may go either way w/ replacing the diff .
assembly w/ a used one or having it rebuilt,ill see which is less labor
intensive and less $

also the rear ratio is either 4.10 or 4.30,so it  might be a little tougher to
see that by  that way,so what is the difference in relation to the different
ratios,faster acc. higher top speed lower rpms@ highway,better fuel mpg,etc.
which one does the most /best for you with a V 6 man. trans 4WD

It is a 4WD, so you can not change it for another ratio.
Or modify the front diff with it. ;-)
b.t.w. a used one will be cheaper than rebuilding.
Kind regards,

If you disconnect the rear U joint the numbers should be stamped on the
pinion gear. Divide the numbers to get the ratio.
