Does anybody know for sure if the C6 chevy Carrier with the 3:42 ring & pinion thats sold as a complete unit, will fit into the C6 Automatic car that currently has a 2:73 ratio or will it not fit and i'll have to settle for the 3:15 carrier? Help... no

I can tell you that all the 3.xx carriers are the same (and different from the 2.xx carriers). I can't tell you for sure if the splines on the 3.42 pinion are the same as the splines on the 3.15 pinion. I'm *pretty* sure they are, but I'm not 100% positive the manual and automatic pinion splines are the same.

Talked with these folks at a swap meet. They do Vette rear ends right.

Thanks, Shopdog, I appreciate the reply. Since I posted this thread, the local Chevy dealer, who will do the R&R of the carrier, believes the 3:42 will fit right in. Hope so, cause if not, guess who's pocket the addt'l cost will be coming out of?

Oldad, appreciate the phone number; I'll give them a call tomorrow and keep asking questions-eventually, I'll get to the bottom of this...
