Rear end leak ? ? Question
Ok so I have a question... I have a small drip at the rear end, I think its the rear end cover gasket, ok so now for the question..
How far does the rear have to come apart to do the gasket. ?
I jsut had the rear gone thru 1.5 yrs ago so it shouldn be leaking,,,
im sure my shop will take care of me, but ..... Id like to upgrade to some new gears and wondering how far into the rear they are going to get to do the seal...might be worth the gear swap at the same time..

This is what I have been told...Some have said the 3.55 was better but with the GN200R the gearing is a little better for the 373
I cant wait....
And then after this swap out ill be doing the LT-4 hot cam package......
Man will the car be fun to drive then.....

And, yes, you definitely need Corvette specific 10-bolt gears.

US Gears 3.73s from Tom's Differentials. Was around $275 bucks when I bought mine in 2009. This was the first diff I rebuilt, but I thought they were easy to set up & pattern, and they run quiet
