Gears

Hey all,

I got a lead on some gears for my car. Right now I am running 2.73 pegleg. Found a guy selling 3.42 gears. He is asking $75 for them. I am thinking that this might be a good deal and I will most likely pick them up.

Here is the response.

Yes I do still have the gears and yes as far as I know they will fit your 88 so long as its a 7.5" ring gear which I think they all are but you could probably call the dealer with your serial number just to make sure
Is my car a 7.5" ring. Its a stock TransAm. I wouldn't mind the extra launching power of the 3.42.

Please get back to me on this. Thanks.

damn that thing is getting a work out the last week or so


let me get this straight, you're doing a gear swap and yet you don't know what rear you have. if it's a 10 bolt it's a 7.5/7.62

Make sure the gears are designed for your series 2 carrier. If they are for the 3 series they wont work in your rear. Im not sure if the gears are used or not but i would never use used gears.
