Getting gears

SmokeyDP · 06-17-2001, 03:32 PM

My differential is leaking and I was planning on getting 3.55 gears and the speado gear. What else should I get since the rearend will be apart and something is leaking? Should I have the clutches in the rear rebuilt?

Yes, absolutely have the Traction-Lok clutches replaced; also check the axles for scoring and replace with Moser 'street' axles if necessary. Of course, finding the cause of the leak is paramount - but you already know that.

The wheel bearings should be checked too and consider using synthetic oil when you refill the axle.
