Stock gears for a 2000 GT are 3.27 I think. An upgrade to 4.10s would be a great idea, unless you do alot of highway driving. I have 3.73 and I'm happy with them but alot of people on here prefer the 4.10s

You dont do it yourself. U buy the gears, and shim kit and take it to a shop. I will be about 2-300 to get them installed. Get 4.10's I had 3.73's and they werent enough for me. Good luck.

PS you get more answers in the 4.6 section stickys at the top of the page.
