Anyone running 3.91 gears with A6 v6? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Of course you would have had to swap to the ss differential, hubs, and axles.
But I wanna know what kind of difference it made

I am looking at swapping the diff out for a 1LE diff that has 3.91 gears. Need hubs and axles too. Too bad every time I start saving for it, something pops up that requires money.

It should give quite a boost to acceleration and the LSD would be helpful at the track.

Yea I could imagine the performance gains on the take off and like you said, the LSD would make a huge difference as well. I hope we can both get it done soon. I heard of members running the ss 3.45's in the a6 v6 but I wanna see the 3.91's 👍

So what r people saying that have switched to the 3.45 gearing? How does it affect the daily drivability of the car? Fuel consumption? How do u think the 3.91s will effect it?

I never really talked to anyone that did the 3.45 swap, I just read a few post about how they feel the difference and one person had a .3 increase in gas mileage.
I kno the SS's do the 3.91 and love them and they say it can be dangerous around corners.
I can't wait to speak to someone with a v6 3.91. I'm debating because of the warranty

How much would a complete swap cost? Ballpark figure for a shop to do it. If I ever get turbo charged, this would be sick.

I was thinking the same thing!! 3.91's and turbo or supercharged would be awesome. Our cars would be fast

I seen shops post about doing the swap with parts an labor for 2000 but that was prolly with stock m6 SS 3.45's. It might be more for the 3.91's

lscamaro · 10-29-2012, 09:33 AM

It'll be probably an additional 1000. I don't really know what the price for gears and the install labor is but that's probably all you have to tack on to the 2000 dollar price.

We have a complete swap here with the 3:45's. Rear diff, axles, new hubs, and driveshaft if anyone wants...will install as well.
