What's the going rate for gears? Reply #4 – February 05, 2009, 05:30:39 PM When I had the pumpkin rebuilt and the torsen installed, the mechanic found a rag stuff in it. Probably to le the whine the gears make. I should have replaced the gears then. Okay, thanks for the responses. Maybe I'll wait for a better deal to come along. I'm not in a hurry to pull the pumpkin. Quote Selected

What's the going rate for gears? Reply #8 – February 05, 2009, 06:18:34 PM Yes, when I had pumpkin built, they found a rag stuffed in there. Left it out when they put it back together. Original gears, rebuilt pumpkin with new diff.I was hoping to stick close to stock final drive ratio, so kept the 355s original to 8.8 pumpkin. (345 gears + stock size tires ~= 355 gears + my tires)Now I'm thinking that even after the new motor, it's going to drive better with 373s, which means I need to find the correct speedo cable gear too.
