C5 Gears
I see a lot of catalog ads with differential exchanges for 3.73 or 4.10's. I was wondering why this is so prevalent? Is it possible to crack open a differential and just changew the ring and pinion?

Re: C5 Gears (Killrwheels)
I believe this to be true only for manual Vettes......I know the 2.73's (automatic) carrier cannot hold that size gear and suspect the 3.15's dont either.

Re: C5 Gears (CHRIS NJ C5)
2.73's are the only carrier that cannot be upgraded. 3.15's can be built with any ratio.
:iagree: Chris has had his hands on many a rear.

Re: C5 Gears (Leebherron)
Can my 2.73 rear carry a 3.42 gear set? :confused:
