3.55 install tips
hey guys i just got 3.55 gears off ebay for 63 bucks.
is this something that i can do myself? and if so can you guys give me a how to on it, and or tell me somewhere that i can get instructions.
also how much could this help my 1/4 mile time. im in the low 15s high 14s now.

If you aren't familiar with ring & pinion you might wanna save this one for a shop. You got those for an awesome price!</P>
If you have a 5 speed, you might see 3-4 tenths from that mod alone!!</P>

eya, you gain alotta time with the gears considering your stock is prolly 2.73. You can changem yourself as long as you shim em to get the right wear pattern and have a press for the bearing (ur supposed to anyways lol. If they are not FMS then you will prolly have to do a good bit of adjusting to get the right fit, if they are fms u 9/10 times can just reuse your factory shims.

they are ford motor sport gears. the reason i got the gears is because the guy had them on a 95 gt for just a few houndred miles and decited he wanted 3.75 gears, this means it will fit and work fine on my car not to mention the price.
hey aqua no i havent had my front end checked out yet but yes it does make the noise when i am at a stop and turn my wheel. i figure it has something to do with my wheel size 17x9. if it gives me any more trubble ill have to take it in.
yea guys i think i am going to take them into the shop to get put on, dont want to risk anything. how much should i expect to pay.
