What would be the price without a hardened output shaft less the credit for my getrag 3.73 ring and pinion that i would send you in its cracked getrag built 3.73 diff. housing unit/rear carrier? Pleae note that the ring and pinon 3.73s i would be sending you are 100% perfect as the rear diff. unit did not implode/hand grenade, but simply was leaking when i yanked it and saw that it had a crack all the way through. Car was running fine when i yanked the carrier out of the car, etc. and the 3.73s should be 100% reusable. If it would be cheaper, how much to simply reinstall my 3.73 gears into a new housing unit that you would supply and i would ship the complete cracked getrag 3,73 unti with gears installed inside, etc.

Thanks bro and please send me a PM or email as i am ready to get my 3.73s fixed up asap!

Jim I will call you in the morning. We can get you a new ZO6 case and reset up your 3.73 gears or install new 3.90 gears.

Those guys are nitrous/turbo set ups , I was referring to Brent because we're both naturally aspirated . Next year I 'm going with "boost" , not sure whether it will be TT or SC yet .

I was planning on doing this mod later in the year. But this is too good of a deal to pass. If I buy them now, I will have to install them now. So what mods would that leave me for in the winter, hmmm.

Great deal. I love my 4.10s I got from cartek and they are noise free. Some other gear setups I have seen on vettes make a whine but these were installed by other tuners.

just to keep things in perspective, last week I got a call from Corvettes of Westchester, in NY. He called me to tell me about a great deal he was running. For $2500 dollars, he would change my MN6 rear gears and tune the car. $2000 just for the gears. I guess he's not a forum member and doesnt know a good price for a gear change!!!!
needless to say, I told him Id call him
