Gears I know nothing about gears and I am about to order a ring and pinion in 3.73 and was wondering if I need a new carrier also or will the stock one work. Also is my stock 99 carrier a series 2 or series 3?
Since you have an M6, your stock gears should be 3.42, and you have a 3 series carrier. Why are you switching gears? 3.42 to 3.73 is not a very big change to spend the money on, unless you needed new ones anyway.

I am having to go into the rear anyway to replace bearings so I figure I might as well do this while I am at it. I am going with 3.73 because 4.10 will kill my gas mileage too much. Like I said, I really don't know too much in this area.
The stock carrier will work just fine . We have the gears in stock and on sale right now for $159.95 (Motive Performance) and we also have Master install kits which include new pinion and carrier bearings for $69.95 with free shipping . You can order online at www.neweraperformanceparts.com or call us during business hours at 585-865-1832 .

Verdad Gallardo Motive Performance gears do not whine when set up right , never had a car come out of my shop louder than stock after install . Sometimes the 4.10's whine just a little , but it is hard to hear unless you really listen for it . Most guys with M6 go with 4.10's and A4's go with 3.73's , but it also does depend on what you are trying to achieve as well .
