Swapping Gears?
Swapping Gears? Guys I have a 2.73 rear gear in my car now with a two series carrier. Would like to put in a set of 3.42's perferably or 3.73's. What all do I need? If I could just find a complete rear out of a factory 6spd car I would be good, but they have gotten so expensive to pick up. Thanks for any help.
I just switched from 2.73 to 3.73 gears couple days ago, did the swap myself. If your gonna do it yourself, make sure you have bearing pullers/installers, magnetic base dial indicator and race punches for the pinion races when you replace them.
I got the Richmond Sportsman series 3.73 gears for the 2 Series carrier and an install kit with bearing, bolts etc.
I thought about buying a used rearend with 3.42 but they all have around 100k+ or there pretty expensive, cheapest local i found was $400.

Basically the question is for those that have done this..what spacer kit did you guys use to put a 3-Series Gear on a 2-Series Carrier, if it's possible to do it like that.

Verdad Gallardo I'm not doing a stall till I rebuild the tranny. Just need to know if its worth the effort to swap out everything in a 2 series or just buy a rear from a 6spd car. Thanks guys.
I put thick 3.42 gears in my series 2 carrier. My theory is that buying a used rear is buying someone else's problems. You have no idea what has been done to that rear, how it has been beat on. Whereas I got new gears, new bearings, and I know they were set up correctly. My theory has worked for the past 15k miles, anyway, 400 rwhp.

I swapped my gears out for around 260 total. I have brand new everything, and for 260 you might be lucky to find a used rear with less then 80k.
I would just swap out everything.
