congrats on the gears. good choice BTW with the 3.73's. they really woke my old 93 gt right up, i couldbreak the tires loose through 3rd gear after the install. i believe there is also adrive gear for the speedo that needs to be changed also for the speedo to be truely accurate (if i remember correctly). i got the 3.73 speedo gear when i did the swap but neglected the drive gearand my speedo was still about 10mph off.
