What gears do I have

I was wondering when i bought my car the person i bought it from said he replaced the gears, but i dont think he put the gears in he said were in their... and never got around to checking(too lazy)

what gears are about 1800-2000 rpm @ 70mph?

Re: What gears do I have

auto/ manual

autos came with 2.73s and 3.23s
manual came with 3.42s
if its the 93 i think they were diff but it may have been the gearing inside teh trannys

i have and auto/3.23s and im at about 2500rpms at 80

The difference with the 93 was that it shared the 3.23 rear end with the "performance axle" automatic cars instead of getting the 3.42s like it did starting in 94.


No idea what gears you've got JP. Are you in 6th gear at 70? Knowing that would be helpful.

Thumbs up Re: What gears do I have

4th gear 72 mph read your tach. 3200 rpm=3.23 3700rpm=3.73 etc.

Re: What gears do I have

just jack the rear wheels off the ground, put it in neutral and spin the tire 1 time. However many times your driveshaft spins = your gearing.
