gears question

What were the stock rearend gears that were put in the six speed cars (preferably 1992)? What should I upgrade too? 3.73's? Good seat of the pants feel (I'm sure it is)? :cheers:

92 6 speed came with 3.45, no experience with this application, but most everyone on here seems to perfer the 4.10 with the 6 speed. Also the best fit is the dodge viper set from chrysler. (so i hear)

either 3.45 or 3.54 came with 6 speeds. 4.10 is the perfect gear for a 6 speed.

Re: gears question (fade_to_black)

go with the 4.10's, we did both in steps on dads car and the 3.75's were almost non noticeable, the 4.10's were like putting a 100 shot on it! she will rip in 1st and 2nd! if your getting gears, get them from Al Kindler, email address is usazr1@aol.com, cost is 300.00 shipped, very hard to beat, they are the 4.10's and are the bigger and stronger ring and pinion for our cars! best of luck,

Re: gears question (lcvette)

If 4.10 are the best gear for a 6 speed, what would be the best for an auto. I an considering 3.54 but would 3.73 make that much more of a diff

Re: gears question (turbota)

The auto group seems to prefer the 3:73.

Re: gears question (RichS)

LT1 Auto, 3.73's, L98 Auto, 3.08, this is about the best setup for these cars anyhting more without significant work to the heads and addition of a higher rpm power making cam and you'll find you might actually hinder your trap speeds and et's!

good luck,

chris :D
