I must order new gears but have no idea which gear I need. richmond has one for 3.08 and lower and 3.23 ans higher carier, which is it? I already have posi. also, I will be upgrading to 700r4 and would like to choose a gear to work good with that tranny, but not throw the spedo off to much...

 

Well, what gears do you have now? 2.73, 2.77, 3.08 is the 2-series, and 3.23, 3.27, 3.42, 3.45, 3.70, and 3.73 are all 3-series. And what rear end do you have now, a 9-bolt or a 10-bolt?

 

10 bolt

 

OK, you have the 10 bolt. But what gear ratio do you have? If the rear is still stock, give us the year, make, model, tranny, engine information and we might be able to come up with a good guess. Otherwise, you need to get the ratio.

 

its a 82 trans am. I'm shure that it is stock I think it mihgt be 3.73 because the rpms get pretty high with a t350, which is not stock. what came stock in it?

 

how in the heck do I get the brakes off of the passenger side with disc brakes?

 

If you think they are still stock you can run your RPO codes on the decoder on this site and the codes will tell you what you have. They are usually located on your center compartment lid {bunch of three digit codes about 50 of em}

 

Getting your brakes off....

Use a brake pad spreader or whatever....its a 6 in threaded bolt with a handle on one end, a plate that threads along the bolt, and a foot at the other end to secure it to the shoes when you are spreading them.

More information in your posts when you ask your questions...like what the problem is....will get you better responses.
