More gear questions
More questions about the 3:73 gears replacing my 2:59's.
What all exactly has to be done? Speedometer gears? shift points? Chip?
dana 44 I know about. What else?
Also, does my 93 Ruby have the electronic transmission?
Thank you for your replies.

Re: More gear questions (Ozman)
As to whether your car has the 4L60E, it depends on your vin # and whether youre a later number or an earlier one.
If you put a D44 w/ 3.73s in youll need to reprogram your speedo, youll need a calibrator to do that, thats in ecklers or MidAmerica. You wont need a chip and i dont believe youll need to reprogram shift points for just a gear change, though i could be wrong on that one.

Re: More gear questions (Ozman)
Shift points can be changed by messing around with the governor in the tranny. Don't ask me where it is, I haven't a clue.
Everything Rob mentioned is true since I followed his advice and got the part #'s from him for the speedo change.

Re: More gear questions (scorp508)
Actually, I thought I had read the same thing a while back. How would I check to see if I have it? I suppose I'd have to find the build sheet?
I thought that the 4L60E was transitioned into the build run during the later portion of the '93 models. Is this false?

Re: More gear questions (dgoodhue)
That corvette guru was David F. And just for your info, mine was built in april 93 and it has a 4L60, no E version in mine. And I dont believe you would get much latter Then April 93 production. They would be changing over to the 94's shortly afterwards. I think part of the misunderstanding comes from the E version was used in some GM models in 93, just not the Vette.
