So here's the scoop... I'm putting in an aluminumDriveshaft that requires that I change the companion flange at the rear end...so since I'm doing that anyway... I'm gonna put in some 3.73's (I plan onsupercharging next year so I don't wanna go 4.10's [8D])....

How's the install on gears [&:]? I'm pretty good with my hands...no formal training or anything...but I hate the concept of paying for things that I can do on my own...(plus I'm cheap...lol)

PLEASE HELP! ANY AND ALL ADVICE REQUESTED!!!!!!!!!

 

I would not attempt the gear change, you'll be better off spending the 300 for an expert to install. If you dont believe me just do asearch and spend the next week reading about gear whine[&:]

 

find someone who ACTUALLY know how to do this....have then put the DS on too while there are at it.....

 

My advise is pay someone to install the gears, if you don't get the backlash set correctly you will be sorry and buying new gears.

 

[&:]man....lol...what about replacing the companion flange?

 

i would like you to do your own
gears. it's about time someone
grow a couple and attempt
it.

do a taco style write up and you will
forever be praised

take lots of pics

 

I was thinking about finding a cheap 8.8 and doing just that.

 

Hey Moosestang just play'n with you about your whipple, it is sick. but I do have a ?? for you. How do you like the 4.10's and what is your RPM in 5th on the freeway?? Don't mean to steal the thread.

 

moose, i think you probably could
do it successfully

 

I'd pay to have the gears done. Heard of too many problems with people trying to do them themselves or even problems with "professional" install. Take it to a shop that's well known for doing gears.
