First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Well...do the math..
What trans do you have now ? find the first gear ratio and compare it to the th200 If the th200 has a deeper first gear (high number), then you can (and maybe should) drop the rear gears a bit. If the th200 has a weak first, then up the gears in back. You want the same acceleration with the overdrive for cruising right ? Then do what you can to keep it the same That's how I would do it -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ridell, Niklas (C.N.)

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ........................................................................ . Hi guys I've been offered to buy a brand new NOS 8.2" limited slip rear gear carrier. It's made for 2,56-2,73 gears but the seller claims I can use 2,93-3,23 gears if I get an adapter ring. Today my Bird has an open 3,08 differential. I feel the need for a posi rear end so I'm really tempted to buy this unit but I'm also in the process of installing a 200R4 transmission. Will the 3.23 gears be to low (numerically) for my combination? /Niklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> No virus found in this incoming message.
