hey guys, i am pretty sure the answer is yes, but i wanted to make sure before i went ahead and bought'em. but are the rear gears from a ls1 work in a lt1 and vice versa? thanks alot

daniel

 

Yes.

 

yes sir...

even the 3rd gens will work.... except the ausi rear...

 

thank you very much guys. i was pretty confident that they were but i just wanted to make sure. yall take it easy and thanks again

 

Of course you need to verify that both cars have the same "series" carrier, or the gears will not swap.

 

now by series you mean that they are 7.5"?!?

 

No... "series" related to the spacing of the ring gear in the carrier. If a car left the factory with 2.73 gears, it will have a 2-series carrier. If it left the factory with 3.23 or 3.42 gears, it will have a 3-series carrier. You can't put gears from a 2-series carrier in a 3-series carrier. You could put gears from a 3-series carrier in a 2-series carrier with a spacer, but that's not the best way to do it. If you want to put anything higher than a 3.08 in a 2-series carrier, you need to get a special, wider gear. If you want to put a 3.23 or higher numerical gear in a 3-series carrier, you are good to go.

 

ok i gotya. so unless the 2.73 original car got aftermarket 3.42 gears then i cant use'em. thanks alot
