Default Instead of purchasing...

The complete 3.42 gear carrier is it possible to just buy the ring and pinion? I currently have the 3.15 gear ratio in my C5. Thanks!

You can get the gear from Motive Gear or one of the vendors they will refer you to. Mark @ Andy's autoperformance can install them for roughly 250.

You can, but to buy the ring and pinion and have them installed, it will cost more than buying a used one.
