what gears...

wade73 · 05-28-2002, 01:27 PM

what gears are in a stock 98 gt? i am thinking of changing out my gears. leaning towards 3.55's. i travel about 20 miles per day on interstate minimally. it will be a couple of years before i add anything major like a blower, or even nitrous. probably will never add nitrous.

Don't quote me, but I think the 98 GT's came standard with 3.08's (manual). The auto's had 3.27 I believe. My bud's 98 GT 5speed came with a factory optioned 3.55 rear.

My 5-speed came with the 3.27 (option).

what revs should i be turning in 5th at 70 mph with the appropriate gear set? i am turning just about 1900 in 5th at 70. first gear winds out to about 42, second to about 78, third to about 112. never wound out 4th or 5th (yet).
