3.73s are in...
My gears are in. I picked up the car this morning. There is NO whine whatsoever....I'm very happy with the shop I went to. He only charged me $150 plus the cost of gear lube and posi additive (came to $165). I didn't get on it yet.....I'm going to wait maybe 2 days to let the gears go through a few heat cycles first. I can tell how much quicker the car accelerates with light throttle though. I'll be posting once I get on it telling you guys how easy it is to spin the tires. :D

Nice, I should be installin my new rear end with 3.73's any day now. I cant wait myself :D

Gear
I had some 4.10's in mine and it would spin in to 4th gear easily i blew em up soon and went to the 3.42 it made a bigger difference in speed which i found better for gas as well but good luck good idea to go slowly for a few days so they adjust properly

lol , good deal man. Wish there was a shop around here that would do a good job of it for 150 bucks labor man. My friend helped me do it and it was a PITA to get that pinion bearing off. I almost woulda rather paid someone to do it lol. We have to go back in there in a couple weeks cuz its whining a little bit , we didnt have the perfect carrier shims to line it up perfect , so it has a lil backlash. Stock rebuild tho , no gears , I would have if the damn hypertech that came with the car worked and/or hypertech would help me fix the thing , lol.

Yo
How much did the actual gears cost? I want 3.73 in mine... just if you could please... can you post how much your mpg goes down please? In the 2 days that is... because I don't want to rip around town that much when I get mine... I like to get decent gas mileage... :-) Chris |
m6 guys shouldnt lost much mpg's
|
nice improvement indeed especially if your stepping up from the 273's...i did them along w/ a cai on my 97 years ago...completely differant car
|
I recently discovered I have 4.10s... I have no complaints at all about my mileage. The 4.10s dont feel high at all... I cant imagine what 2.73s are like:eek: I dont think higher gears will hurt the mileage in an m6... they make 6th gear that much more usable. They also make lightin'-em-up pretty easy. btw I have no other major mods done to my car... catback and 4.10s are the biggest two.

Yo
You have to buy all those pinions and all that extra crap for the gears? Or were those extra options just to impove crap around it? Will I know how to pick it out... because I am not sure if I am going to get ripped off or not... I hate not knowing the freakin answers!! Chris |
