My lsd went out on my 97ta it came factory with 3.23's i found a wrecked 94 camaroz-28 i bought the the lsd and the gears but it had 3.43's its a little bit taller than mine but pretty much identical besides that i was wondering if i could use my ring gear on that chunk or will i have to take out my pinion and go with the 3.43's!!!

If you want to use the 3.42's from the wrecked 94, you will have to take the ring and pinion from the 94 camaro, and put both into your 97 ta... ring and pinions are made in sets because they match up to each other... you cannot use a 3.42 ring with a 3.23 pinion

Exactly, they both differ in the amount of teeth on the gears, and they are on different angles. Also they have already worn into a groove with each other.

They should be both the same carrier, Series 3. I don't see why not, just make sure you use the same ABS Toner Ring, and get it re-shimmed.

I thought stock 3.42's were a 3 series and anything below that was a 2-series?

Anything 3.23 and up is Series 3.
