I gave one away and sold one to orange krush. If I had one I would have given it to you Joe. 
Looking for a 3.42 10 bolt?
Looking for a 3.42 10 bolt? Does anyone have a 3.42 10 bolt? I would prefer one without TCS. If it has TCS I will still consider it if my guy can get it to work or if I can decide to live with some lights on the dash.
Joe: Don's first post regarding your car said it had a 3.23 gearset. Your post said the car has 2.73's. You have the beefier 3.23 carrier, or no? Just cause there a ton of both 3.42 and 3.73 gearsets in "parts FS section" here--some real cheap. If you've got the small carrier....ng, but do a search on 3.42 ring and pinion, and 3.73...A bunch come up--some genuine GM gearsets....3.73's probably won't live as long as the 3.42's in 10 bolt w/your stall & good tires. My car went thru traps only around 4500 w/3.23's--not quite what you want, especially if you change your cam and do the heads....Anyway, am sure you and Don have already thrown all this stuff around...

Verdad Gallardo Warren - I remember the little rhyme in my head "2.73 is a baby 3.73". I'm 99.99% sure I have a 2.73 rear. Don said unless I forget which isnt rare) it's the smaller housing and I would even need too many new parts to make it really worth it $$$ wise. Don told me just to look for another seperate 3.42 3 channel 10 bolt.
We were thinking of a real (12 bolt or 9 inch) rear with a 3.73 as well. Right now I just want to add a couple of bolt on's to make the car a little more stout but cut some impressive times for next to nothing in mods. These autos seem to be really efficent so I want to get the most out of suspension, chasis and drivetrain mods then when I'm content I'll add a bunch of power mods... which will probably be the day after my first track event.
I want to run @ LVD. I'll cut slower times but I'll get alot more time behind the wheel.

Maaaan I need a dining room table, I need a new hot water heater (you need to check the wiring) because I hate cold showers and other stuff that cost money. Setbacks Don setbacks, all of this everyday crap is nothing but another setback.
I want the 10 bolt just to carry me over for a little while.

if the 3 chan is the one with NO traction control it is what i want.
i sent you a pm last week asking if you ever got a chance to check the 10 bolt out but i never heard back from you so i thought there was something wrong.
how much do you want for it?

Joe - I still have the 10-bolt out of my 1997 Trans Am. It has 25,xxx miles on it, 3.42 stock gears, 3-channel (no ABS), passenger side axle was replaced at 18,000 miles (thought the stock one was bent). It has never seen the strip, just the usual lead-footed street driving, no noise or problems that I'm aware of.
It's yours for $100, and I'll throw in a pair of BMR bolt-in lower control arm mounts for free... how's that strike ya!

Hey joe, if you don't find anything soon and you don't mind waiting there is a good chance I will have a 3.73 geared 10 bolt with a stud kit and TA girdle available by the end of the winter.
