I have a 95 z28 m6 and recently destroyed my rear end... the pinion gear is in about 300 pieces and the ring gear is all chipped... i was wondering if i could buy a new rearend out of an automatic... or will the gear ratio be different? also... also... should i buy a used one or would i be better off just buying new
thanks
Dave

94 NO TOP Z

All M6 cars had 3.42's.... autos had 2.73's or 3.23's. You'd be better off finding one from a 6 speed car. Sometimes you can get a whole rearend for $200-$300.... they go pretty cheap since most people don't want one.

Hey thanks... what about the firebirds or ta's... do they have the same gears as the camaros?

94 NO TOP Z

Yep... same gears. One thing to watch if you buy an entire rearend is traction control. If you have traction control now you'll need a rear end with traction control and vise versa. The traction control rearend uses 2 abs sensors (one on each axle), the non-traction control rearend uses 1 abs sensor on the top of the pumpkin. 94-97 models is what you will need.
