A firend and I installed some 3.73's this weekend. I had never done it before so he pretty much did the work. It took about four tries but we finally got it. Anyway, on the way home (I was getting on it a little bit ) and boom! My car was vibrating like crazy. I pulled over and noticed my starter hanging down. I then saw that my transmission bellhousing was cracked! Do you think we installed the gears incorrectly or was it just time for it after (2003-1989=14) 14 years of abuse?
