Rear End Gears?
Question?
If I were to install lower Gears in my 09 would the Computer throw an error code?
Right now I have Corsa Extremes with the X-pipe, though, I would like to keep my Warranty intact for a few years before I do any other mods.
Just looking to make the Car a bit quicker without raising any flags when I bring the car in for yearly inspection.
I don't have any use for 190mph...
Thanks!

Transmission?
If auto tranny, speedometer needs to be reset in computer. If manual, no changes needed.

You are good to go. The Auto guys will need speedos and shift points adjusted, but the M6 needs nothing.

Great!
Can anyone point me to the right direction of a reputable installer here along the East Coast?
I can't seem to find anyone close by, NH etc experienced in a C6 Gear Change.
Thanks!

I ordered mine from DTE. Check them out, they are a Forum sponsor. I went to 4.10's MN6 too. Ring and Pinion gear swap is difficult. Better to buy complete and upgraded rebuild.
