Changing gears from 3.08 to 3.73 May 21, 2008, 10:42:19 PM My car currently has a 3.08 traction loc and I have a set of 3.73 to put in it. Does anyone know from experience if I have to change the carrier or just the ring and pinion?. My car is a 302 fila thunderbird.ThanksScott Quote Selected

Changing gears from 3.08 to 3.73 Reply #2 – May 22, 2008, 04:14:53 AM Its a good idea to rebuild the trac-loc while your in there. Oh, and I hope you love the smell of gear oil and friction modifier because it will be your new cologne. Quote Selected
