Weird TransAm Factory Gears&Does anyone use 4.30's?
Hey Im fairly new to the boards and have a couple of questions:
1-Does anyone use 4.30 gears with an A4?? Any info would be great ie traction,videos,times,etc
2-My 1995 Performace Package TransAm has an A4 but when I removed the old gears they were 3.42's this is the first time the rear end has been opened, I thought 3.23 (?) were availabe and the 3.42's were only for 6 speeds? I do have a 95 camaro m6 with confirmed 3.42's btw.

someone obviously swapped rear ends...or at least gears.
or did you buy it new? cause that would be strange...VERY strange.
4.30s would be rediculous on anything shy of a fully built race car.
with a 6000rpm rev limiter, you'll be hitting overdrive at the end of the track...or darn close to it. compared to 3.42 where you'd be in the middle of 3rd with plenty of room to run.
would be fun on the street if you could hook up.

We just use soap and water on our top, and still looks pretty good.

If you didn't count the teeth, how did you determine they were 3.42 gears?
Was the speedo accurate in the car? Did you check the PCM to see what rear axle ratio it was calibrated for?
