thats a window motor problem and your going to have to replace it....

2.73s in a m6 hmmm.....yea youll notice a big difference between them and 4.10s but i think you might need to look into other mods if you just got this car, before you do gears....

brains needs to fix your profile

OMG! 4,294,967,296 posts has got to be the LS1tech record. Word of advice though:

Turn off the computer. Then stand up if you can. If not then you may need physical therapy to revive the muscles in your legs. Once you can move again, look for a large rectangular shaped object. It should have a small round **** about waist high. Turn that **** and pull towards you.

Now step outside and say hello to a place called "the real world"

Seriously though you should remove the door panel to get a good look at how the window is sitting on its track. If it's not something obvious then you may have to bite the bullet and take it to a shop or dealership.

Good luck.

what year car do you have?

some of the 93 LT1s came with 2.73s factory since they have a differently geared T56.

You might have to take it to the shop because there going to have to replace a rivet that is griding the hole in the fiberglass door bigger. They have to remount the regulator to prevent movment.

I had this done already.

So has someone paced you? How do you know that your speedo is off? The dealership said its stock, but stock for an M6 is a 3.42 gear, stock for an A4 is usually a 2.73, sometimes a 3.23. Dealerships dont really know squat.

Yes, you should notice a difference with 4.10s. I have heard that you won't feel much difference until you hit these gears. Then again, my car came with the 4.10s already installed by the first owner. THe only other TA I have drove with a stock rear end was a 94 LT1.

This is the post where you lose me....

So when you are in 6th gear, your speedo says ~60 mph, and your tach reads 1300 rpm?
