streetable gears
 

I want to change the gears in my new Mustang. I drive 50 miles round trip to work so I don't want anything too radical. I was thinking 3:73's. My car has 3:27's now. (At least thats what I was told) I have a 5 speed with Anti-Lock brakes. Is the ABS a problem when changing gears?
Next problem- will the speedo be effected with the geat change? Since the 2000 doesn't have a speedo gear, what can I do the make the speedo read right??

I've heard that about the 2000s....

Well, what I can tell you is that 3.73s are definately the way to go. Have more fun driving while getting into the power band faster! ;-)

Top end and highway gas mileage are hardly affected, although you will eat the gas a bit more in the stop and go city traffic.
(especially if you drive like me)

As far as the speedo goes, I don't know, but I will see what I can find out....

PDOG,

Well 99GT owner here with 3.73's. As for ABS, no effect.

As far as speedo, several good options out there. I use an Abbott ERA (Electornic Ratio Adapter). Easy to install and pretty much trouble free, just a few dipswitches and you off and running. You can get from Houston Performance for about $120.00.

Hope this helps!

Cool ... thanx for all the help... 3:73's it is, Going to look into houston performance, again thank you....
