Richmond gear check
I have a 1994 automatic corvette (dana 36 2.59 gear) and saw this one from Richmond gear. Do anyone know if it will fit my carrier and will I require shims, bearing from Richmond?
Corvette 84-96
3.75 ratio (fits 2.73 and bumerically lower carrier)
10 holes, 10 bolt, 7.725" diameter ring gear,
1.376" diameter pinion, 26 splines
Here's the link

Re: Richmond gear check (jodyeastman)
When you go to that link and click on the gasket, it will take you to a listing. Scroll down to the Dana 36 section and they have two gear sets that will work for your 2 series carrier (2.59 gear).
3.54 set is p/n 49-0143-1
3.75 set is p/n 49-0110-1
The -1 denotes use with a 2 series carrier. That makes the base ring thicker in order to reach the gear.
Hope this helps. I am considering doing the same thing.

Thanks for the reply. How do I know what series carrier I have? Also, it does not say in this page if there is a shim bearing kit availiable (assuming I need one). Thanks again.

Re: Richmond gear check (jodyeastman)
If you have a 2.59 differential, or a 2.XX, it is a 2 series. If your car came with a 3.07, or 3.XX, it is a 3 series.
I am unclear if shim packs are necessary. Check with the Richmond Gear hotline on the same website.
