Which gear ratio works well on the v6?

sycraft · 12-13-2012, 08:12 PM

Auto, Manual, Power Adders, what do you want to use it For. 3.91 best bank for the buck.

soloknight6 · 12-13-2012, 09:36 PM

yea I want 3.91s for my auto. just need an SS rear end.

Strider044 · 12-13-2012, 11:48 PM

Someone ball park what 3.91 gears and install might be for a m6 v6. I'm curious.

Installed complete w/gears (removing diff, and reinstalling) is around $999 w/gear lube.

Where do you get gears from? I've been looking since I ran my brothers 08 gt and his 373s are killing me. After we are in top of third my 3.27s make it up but lil late unless we Are on at highway run lol

Local dealer should be able to get OE gears for 225-250 for 3.91

Will the SS gears swap right in on the v6 rear dif?

Incorrect, if you have a manual car then yes, direct swap . A auto car does not work, they have a different gearcase.

Perfect thx any suggestion on where to buy them

What exactly would be needed to install the gears on an auto? Wouldnt you need a whole new rear end? Specifically what parts?

Henry G. · 12-15-2012, 06:46 PM

For those that know: So the manual has the same rear end as an SS? Or just the same gear case? What are the differences? 3.91 seems like it would make first gear about useless on a manual, but I bet second and beyond would be fun. How much to swap gears on the manual? What about a 3.55/3.73 or so, do they make that for the Camaro LFX manual? Does/can the ECM be re-programmed for the change without violating the warranty? Thx....
