just letting u know what i know about my car,i have a 88 trans am gta, 5.7 ltre,v-8,automatic. all wheel disc brake,the rear end is a borg warner 9 bolt 7 3/4 ring gear, ratio of 3.27.i don't know what kind of tranny is in it , my question is this:
1. is my rear end rare or not , im asking because gm is telling me it is ,i had to replace the pinion bearing in it an gm doesn't have them anymore,i had to go to aftermarket to get them.
2. my center caps on my rims says WS-6,what does that mean?
3.as i'm from ontario canada ,is there anyway i can get info on how many was shipped up here ,by the looks of things i have a california car here,i think.it was hard to find parts for it up here.
please help , i'm at a cross roads of keeping the car or selling it, if parts for it up here in ontario are scarce. thx alot

Alot of GTA's came with the 9 bolt. It's rare for a GM car since the GTA was one of the only cars to have it. It's not rare for a GTA to have it though. The WS6 suspension was standard on GTA and is the highest level gm suspension.
