Suggestions for rear ended upgrade for street car.

ChaseRoads · May 6, 2022

Looking to add gears to a stock 91 convertible. I doubt it’d see track time. If it does, it’ll be years down the line. Think I’ll be fine just doing gears, clutches and bearings? Or should I look into doing more?

Gear oil and friction modifier
make sure all your nuts and bolts are torqued down

What gears do you have in there now? 2.73's, or the optional 3.08's/3;27's (depending on trans).

AOD or 5-spd?

I’m guessing 2:73’s. She’s pretty sluggish. I can check if it matters.

I plan to go with 3:73 gears with new clutches and bearings.

It’s currently an aod, but I have a tkx on the bench waiting to go in. That’ll probably be thanksgiving week though.

Rebuilding the t-loc ,new bearings,gears and axle bearings and seals should do the trick. that's my 2 cents, keep the change you filthy animal...…(from home alone)

You didn't have far to go

I would go with the 3.73s if you stick to AOD. If the TKX is 2.95 first gear, likely still 3.73s, if 3.35 first gear I would go 3.55s (for a street cruiser).

I can pick up a knock off diff cover with the added supports for about $100 on eBay. Seems like a low cost for extra support.

I’ve been 10.86 at 3408 with a stick with a cobra 31 spline trac loc. moser 31s with c clips . That’s still what’s in the car now .

I’m planning on a strange s trac , 35s and 9 inch ends eventually . The current setup has been great and together for years and seen it’s fair share of launches and power shifting on the street
