I don't think that they will work since you have a a different carrier. It says that those gears are for a 3.23 and numerically higher carrier. But I could be wrong.

Hawk is right, you would need a 3.23 carrier for it to work.

I believe the differences is the lower gears, the ring gear is fatter, so the carrier is a bit smaller. If that IS the case, you'd have to shim the HELL out of the gears, which would suck. HOWEVER I could be wrong, and it's all backwards haha.

*sigh* Don't listen to me But you DO need a 3.23+ carrier. So NO, with your carrier those will NOT work. Sorry :\

Any car that came with 3:23 and higher (series 3 carrier). Mostly stick shift cars, and some special order auto's.
You can get adapters, but I heard they're not recomended.

Check the for sale section for a 3 series carrier. And in case you don't know, Richmond is known to have the loudest wine. Good gears, but loud.
