Gear Ratios


Ok, this will be a dumb question. I've been told that most V6 mustangs come with a 7.5 rear end and 3.53:1 gear ratio. I'm not so sure that is what gear ratio that I have. Maybe some one can help.

1st gear I can go to 35-40 mph
2nd gear I can go to 55-60 mph
3rd gear I can go 90-95 mph
4th gear I'm not sure
5th gear I'm not sure I can cruse all day at 3k and 100mph.

can some one please help?
