If they were 3.42 gears from a stock 2000 ss, they're probably series 3. You, however, have a series 2 carrier because of the 2.73. You need this:
USGear (Strange Gear) Part # 01-875373X
which is a thick series 2 which will fit your car.

Someone please verify this. Thanks.

You sir, are correct! (Except the part # is wrong, gotta change the 373 to a 342 so the right part # is 01-875342X)

Here go read these two threads, I'm too lazy to post the same information a third time today:

Then if you have any more questions, please ask!

In a nutshell:
The gears you bought are useless unless you change carriers. Don't worry, the same thing happened to me, but I sold my gears to someone who could use them for $50!
