Gears...
 

Gears are ordered and on their way from Canada...3.73's for $120 shipped...not bad considering they are like $180+ shipping in Summit...God Bless Canadian people...so nice ehhh

Are those new? What brand?

- Justin

brand new richmond's

I was always told you can never go wrong with Richmond 3.73's on an Auto car. Congrats john.

:stupid: i can't wait till that "STOCK" in your sig disappears

btw i got outa my meet early...ill call ya soon

Good find....$120 is cheap for them.

I bought my 4.10's slightly used for $100 (they are Motives).

Richmonds are junk, I broke several teeth the day I put my dr's on old 97, others have had the same problems...but good luck with yours

It depends when you got the richmonds. they were really really good, then the guy that developed the metal used to make the gears left the company, so the metal sucked from then on. But recently they have been getting MUCH better!

i really think it is luck of the draw. i know people who have popped motives and richmonds to pieces. it is metal, there is no way to make every batch perfectly the same, jsut close. sometimes it falls on teh wrong side of tolerance and they break. sometimes the install isn't perfect and they break. sometimes there is a flaw in the rear case itself and they break.


later

just came in the mail 10 minutes ago!!! now i need someone to install them...8)

Im gonna order mine by this weekend from summit. 3.73 (4.10s are a little high for highway use) for $193.88

Ill prob get a new cam, valve springs and Suspension springs while im at it.

I can see this is turning into a $400-500 order real quick

Ive had nothing but luck with richmonds. Everyone i know uses them and has no problem whining and what not. I think its who installs them that makes the difference. I have richmonds in the Chevelle, and if they havent broken yet they are most likely not going to. <Knocks on Wood> Kid I know runs low 11's all day and his car hits harder than anything else ive been in, he's running Richmonds. Im pretty sure that if you have a person who installs them well, and actually knows what theyre doing they will work fine.

John take them to All-Star Transmission In Haeldon. The guys name is Chris, gears & transmissions is what they specialize in. Just look them up in the phone book. I cant find their buisness card right now.

Also I know your out of a job, but when its time, go there and have them isntall a shift kit & ask to match up a tourqe converter.

i have a set i woulda sold ya. post a wanted ad next time

:gay:

Well, when I goto these meets, such as fudds, Im already spinning up ~3500 @ 90.

:stfu::leghump::supergay: :roll:

What gears/tranny do you have?

- Justin

i think he has a 700 with 2.73s

Well, one of you isn't right, because a 700R4 in OD with 2.73s will be around 2500 @ 90mph on 26" tires.....

- Justin

yep

See above post......sounds like your factory tach is WAAAAAY off :lol:

- Justin

Theres no way its 2500. Its probably more like 3000. BTW I have P215/65/15s.

Since Prestage.com is down.... I used this gear calculator:

http://www.dalesplace.com/htm/inform...calculator.htm

4th gear @ 90 mph with your tire size = 2,223 RPM
3rd gear @ 90 mph would be 3,175 RPM

Also....215/65/15 = 26.0" high
