Hey guys, I bought this rear end from Greg (clokwrk) a little less than a month ago, and installed it in my daily driver. Its a great rear end, super solid. It came out of a 99, went in my 99, and now I'm taking it out. It has new bearings and seals throughout, and a zexel posi. Here's the best part: the gears aren't GM / motive gears. Theyre made by Strange,and are supposed to be much stronger than regular GM gears. The rear end does whine a little bit on the expressway, but isn't intrusive. They're too much for me to drive every day, I'm going back to 3.42's or maybe 3.73's. I never made any track passes, but its just too much. I just want my money back on this, I paid $400 so thats what I want. I could even help you put it in. It's complete, minus backing plates, and if you aren't comfortable with removing yours, I can help with that too.

However... if you have an LS1 F-body and you have 3.42's or 3.73s, MUST have a Zexel posi and be in good condition, I'm asking for a partial trade. Complete, for a swap. Won't have to mess with plates or anything. PM me if you're interested.

400$ thats alot i seen at thunder racing a set of 4.10's for 225$

This is a complete rear end, not just the gears. Housing, axles,Zexel posi unit, gears of course, bearings, seals, all that stuff. Add your backing plates and its ready to go in.

would that fit in a 2001 ws6 ?
i have stock 3.23 and am looking for an upgrade but i think 4.10
might be too much for an a4 was lookin for a 3.73 really.

Mike94ZLT1

Yes, it would bolt in. To be honest with you though I do think its too much for an automatic. City driving you would be fine, but be aware going from 3.23's to 4.10's you would pick up almost 500 rpm at 70. I don't think thats a huge deal, but depending on your exhaust, going from 2100 to 2600 rpm would be a big differnce volume wise. If you are looking at doing gears, send a message to 1BAD86Z. He's the best rear end guy I know, he built this rear end, and several for my friends and many other people on this board. His name is Scott, hes in Roseville and he knows his stuff. Real cool guy, if you want his # pm me.

I would love to have that 4.10 but swaping rear ends just seam like a lot of work. how long would the job take? is there any thing else i would need to do the swap? gregs car happens to be a hugger orange ss too

bond449798

yea thats what i thought that it would be too much but it's good to know that there is a guy that does good end work
and is in roseville thats where i grew up i might even know him
do you know his last name?

Swapping rear ends really isnt difficult, I've done it so many times with my various F-bodies, and in friends cars. I'm more than happy to help you swap rears, I'd even take your stock rear for partial trade if its in good condition. I have the tools, the garage and the driveway space required, if you're interested we could have the rears switched in a day.

Devenomer- I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with you man, I've been so busy with work and all, I just havent had the time or the money. If you have an opportunity to sell them jump at it, if you still have them in a month or so I'm still interested

Mavricki- Like I said, I'm happy to help. You will need: 2 quarts of mobil 1 synthetic, and a rear diff gasket. You will also need new sway bar end links because I guarantee your stockers will break. You can get new ones at autozone or advance or something like that for under $15 bucks. Let me know if you're interested

Bond - Scotts last name is Koresky, he lives on Waldorf near 10 mile and 94.

Just for ***** and giggles, what's involved in putting your rear axle in a pre-'98 f-body? The brakes are different, right? Anything else?

RRRR

Mike94ZLT1

It would bolt in to a pre-98, but you MUST use your stock backing plates in order for your brakes to work. Like I said, I'm willing to assist if anyone is interested. Ask Scott, I'm a pro at switching rears.

i have never seen someone swap out an axle seven times in a month, that takes alot of guts to just try. and without any air tools. take it from me the air tools pay for them self in the long run, mike.....

Mike94ZLT1

Haha... I haven't swapped my own rear 7 times, some of those are from Bryan's car and Jay's car. But the nice thing about not having air tools is I don't need a gym membership! I have 2 more friends with Mustangs that want 3.55's installed. Both 99 Saleen's, ones an S281 and the other one is the non supercharged version. They should be calling you this week.

I've found that city driving empties the tank a lot faster than highway with the 4.10's. I get about the same mileage with the 4.10 on the freeway as I did with the stock 3.23. I only do 70 now, though.
