Alright, I agree. Now I need to rebuild or replace the traction lok and figured while I was in there, I would swap out the gears also. Car has 2.73's in it now... Should waste my time/money with a rebuild kit on the rear end or pick up a used diff out of a low mileage ride and go that route? What brand gears should I be looking for? These in the pictures are 3.55's... I think I might go 3.73's now.
Whats the combo? Gear the car for the application and powerband. 3.73's are a good all around gear but it depends what you want. I had 3.73's are they were WAY too small for my combo. I swapped in 4.30's and all 31 spline stuff recently.
Just buy a trac lock rebuild kit. I would change all the bearings, seals and races while I was there.

there is nothing wrong with used gears i have installed used gears a few times at $150 savings each i paid $45 for the last 373 gears off e-bay there running fine...i do think $75 is on the high side for a set of used gears..can you not return them or if they were damaged during shipping insurance should cover the price and if you buy items off e-bay use paypal, e-bay and paypal can help you recover money if seller does'nt refund...and don't buy from an individual who states in ad no refunds or as is your shooting yourself in the foot. now there might be a lesson learned to ask the seller questions from the info. listed above when buying and to insure shipments,do not buy with a check or money order only buy from paypal VERIFIED sellers using paypal yourself...thats the lesson learned...but i agree with all the other info. listed in this thread the gears are no good....and have you at least contacted the seller for a refund?Grn92LX said:

The crap that people try to pawn off and claim it was UPS damage
. WOW. I guess its possible that UPS did it, but more likely the guy is just a stooge. That totally sux, sorry.

Yes. I got the gears from a friend in another state. He apparently bought them with the intent to use them but went AOD, so he wanted 4.11's. He never saw the gears, simply sent them to me for what he paid. I talked to him and he is looking for a replacement set of 3.73's to send me as we speak. Looks like it will all be handeled nicely.
Setup is currently pretty much stock. 1.7 roller rockers, under drive pulleys and some home made cat back exhaust. I plan to stay all motor.

I like my 3:55's they pull hard I think. 3:73's would be a little much for me I like to drive on the highway alot.

i would go 3.55's i have had the 3.08 and the 3.27 ( right now) and i think the 55 would be the best bank...

3:73's would make things a bit more fun but I find I am already banging gears as fast as I can. It's like I just get the clutch out and I'm going for the next gear....I love it lol
