Rear end gears

COUSIN ROB · 05-16-2005, 02:35 PM

I am taking in my 96 for gears today. Seeing how I only use the car for street driving I have decided to go with 3:73's. Do you guys know which brand is best or which brand to stay away from?

FRPP...reliable and reasonably priced.

I have the gears installed now, they are great. The car is way more fun to drive now. They even make my 96 feel powerful. Quite honestly I can't imagine getting 4:10's. I am very happy with the 3:73's. On the highway at approx 70 mph in fifth gear the rpm was 2000.
I think my speedo is still out. I had the 18 tooth gear replaced with a 20 tooth gear. I have not had the opportunity to check how far out it is. Does any one know which gear is the correct one to use?

I have a 23 tooth speedo gear...the speedo is still off by 5-6 mph, not a big deal.
