Six speed gears into an A4 Car

I've got a 95 Z28 A4 with 2.73's gears. Can I just buy a set of used 3.42's out of a six speed car and have them fit with no problems? Thanks

The 6 speed cars come with a 3 series carrier and the auto cars come with the 2 series carrier. When i had my previous car i bought richmond 3.42's made for the 2 series carrier from jegs.

Strange makes a 3 series gear to fit a 2 series carrier like you have.

Strange also makes one of the best gearsets you can get IMO.

They are strong! But they are also not as quiet as Motive, GM, or other brands.

dont buy used....i made that mistake when i took 3.23s out of an 11 second A4 car. i've grenaded 2 sets of used gears.....save the money and buy a set of 3.42 strange gears and an SLP Zexel-Torsen take-off posi. They sell the posis for something like 99 bucks.
