disk and posi

Hello all,

A few days ago i posted a question about taking the disk, posi, rear end from an 88 gta, and putting in in my 86 z28 drum break, no posi. I decided i AM going to do this. I never have done any work on a rear end so I am new, luckily i DO have someone eles that knows a little more than me helping.

People mentioned something about having to switch the speedo gear, and a couple other things.

Since i am def. going to go through with this, I need to get a few questions answered. I would flat out ask for a step by step instruction, but i know no one would do that. If you do... feel free

Here is my question:

When i pull the old one out, and put the new one in. What will i need to do to make it work perfect (I.E speedo gear, stuff like that) and remember i am new to this, so please explain.

What you'll need depends on what you have. What ratio is your current set-up? What is the ratio of the swap in? Depending, you may need both a drive and a driven gear. Check the T-5 stickies at the top of the page.
