Re: Gear questions?? No I didnt mean it like that. I just want to know what to say if they were to ask me detailed questions about my car. Like I said before, I dont know whether its a 2 or 3 carrier, and if I need 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 blah blah. I dont know any of that stuff and I was wondering if you or someone could fill me in on the details about the rear. I just want to make sure that I get the right gears because Ive read 2 posts alreadys saying that they got the wrong gears or something like that. Thanks

Re: Gear questions?? Contact Thunder Racing (our sponsor to the right) and they'll take care of you. The most important piece of advice I can offer is to make sure the shop that does your gears has worked on 4th generation F-Bodies.

Gear questions?? I want to know what type of gears I ask for when I state the ratio? I ask that because Ive read that there are 2 and 3 carrier gears. Ive also read on here that you need to buy 7 1/2 or 7 5/8 gears because they make some that are 7 3/4 and wont interchange with the carrier?? I dont know what any of that is, but I figured Id ask so that I know. Im sure that I cant just walk in and say that I need such and such gears! All I know is that its a 2000 Chevrolet Camaro SS, with a 3.42 gear in it, with ABS and no TCS and tts a T-56 6-speed. But what other kind of questions do they ask? Thanks and let me know. Any help is much appreciated.
