Sweeet! Lemme know how it goes, I love my 355's but I also have a Tremec so it makes them a Little steeper, not as much as 373's with a t5 but a little steeper than 355's with a T5.

fastang, doesnt the tremec have a 3.27 1st gr? im just guessing, i dont know, but i know the t-5 has a 3.35 stock 1st gr.

NOS_Notch · 02-24-2001, 12:31 PM

I thought they were 2.95....like a t-5 w/ maybe 3.27's
Definitely not more than 3.35 1st....
I believe the ONLY trans you can get w/ more gear than a t-5 is a Jerico....about 100 choices of gearing

------------------
4.10's,long tubes & 75 shot...Goes 12.50's

I received the gears today, and they seem to be in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I won't get them installed until the snow melts so that I can get my car out of storage

Just FYI - you want basically oval shaped wear patterns in the center of the teeth, or fairly close to center. When you put them in, you want to put bluing on the teeth and try to get as close as possible to the same wear patterns when you rotate. Also, of course, you don't want any pits or anything even approaching rough on the wear pattern.

Just a minor PS - I said BASICALLY oval shaped - they can be a little
"long and narrow" as long as they're not real narrow. I would think you could find rebuild manuals at the local library (like the big Chiltons) that would have pictures. Basically, as long as the wear is not up against the edges (in or out) and they're smooth, you should be fine. PS - you might want to think about synthetic oil - stands up better under heat, flows better in cold, lubricates better at any temp. Cuts hp loss just a little and stuff will wearlonger.
