[Daggar]

[accidentprone86]

damn, and an i wounder why i keep geting my ass kicked.
So looks like ill be geting 3.55s or 3.73s and maybe ill be able to beat this damn stock 00 gt auto that keeps raping me.
He even had the audacity to roll up and say " is that a V8 or a V6"?

good news is i smoke those year gt's with a x-pipe. cat-back. and 3.73's so wont be to hard but the 86 are not as fast as the later fox's

 

[notchback]

it could be either...
look in the door tag

m=2.73
z=3.08

under ax code

only gear that is specific to tranny is 3.27's and they were aod only

unless you owned the car since new, I would jack up the rear and check it myself. We dont get new tags when we install gears.

2.73's standard.

3.08's optional on 5-spds.

3.27's optional on AOD's

Race some better drivers in the 99+ cars...

Anyways...does the door codes below apply to the 94/95 cars as well?

m=2.73
z=3.08

3.08's optional on 5-spds.

My 1992 has gear code Z 3.08s

I need 3.73s soon...

Here is a some crap. I got my coupe with auto and 2.73s out back. I thought they all had 3.08s. Its now a 5spd and 3.73s so it doesn't matter now.

 

[Dohc32vMarkVIII]

Kind of a related topic. I bought my car and the guy who sold it to me threw in a new set of 3.55s to replace the whining 3.55s that were in the rear currently. I want to put new gears in because the whine is driving me insane, but don't know if I should just replace the 3.55s that are in it with new 3.55s or 3.73s. What are the differences between the two? Will I notice a difference? RPM difference?

Oh, and is anybody interested at all in buying/trading for a brand spankin new set of 3.55s?

I saw a little while ago i had code Z, and I was all excited because i thought it seemed a little quick, but i didnt know...

....then i did a 5 lug swap and saw they were FRPP 3.73s...nothing like finding free goodies! even if you are already used to them.

My old 5-spd 95 GT had 2:73's. I swear I could punch it, call my GF, and be off the phone before I hit redline.
