Well I got all the gears on this weekend. First thing the geocities walkthrough is terrible. The thing is ass backwards in some respects. I will definately look to write a new one for it when I get a chance. Anyways the car pulls a little harder not much though weird thing is that my car didnt get much on the low end but from 90 up the car freakin flys now. My question is since the walkthrough seems backwards was I suppose to put the small gear on the top and the big one on the bottom or vise versa.

Ok I doubled checked everything and changed my spark plugs and guess what. I noticed a huge difference. The car is pulling way harder every where. Let me tell you anyone who has said this mod hurts top end let me tell you it doesnt and Im actually able to go 10mph faster than before. Very impressed with it. I will be writing a new walk through for the gears becuase the removal portion is not correct. The bottom gear will just spin if you take the top one off first. Just little things like that are inaccurate. But I got everything working now and it works great.

Awesome man! Make sure you hook me up with that write up, and take better pics than that dude did. Those pictures were horrible IMO.
Good luck, Joseph

Did you change anything with the gears to notice anything different? I just put in Drive Gears yesterday.. Accleration seems crappy, put after about 4k RPM I can tell a difference.. Just took it on the highway and it seems to get to 100 alot quicker... Still pretty disappointed with acceleration though..
Funny story while we were working on my car last night.. After we finally got everything done, we jacked up the car in the front, so we could spin both tires and before we tested it on the ground.. Friend was revving my car, and then let off.. and then my tires just like, seemed to lock up.. So we put car on ground and tried to drive it, but it barely budged.. We thought maybe parking brake locked up or something... Drove it around the block, and it shifted gears.. That's when we realized all that happened was the car tried to shift gears while jacked up, and was still in top gear when we put it back down.. Scared the hell out of me

Ive had that problem since I did the header. If you guys havent done that yet do it youll be very happy. I think that I would have felt way more from this had I done it earlier on. However like I said vey good gains from this mod and worth the money for what it does.

I bet you put the gears on wrong, The bigger gear stock is on the top... the smaller gear goes on the top now and the bigger gear goes on the bottom, did you do that? I belive the gears are interchangeable. You should check.

Biggest difference Ive seen from this is that the car wants to keep pulling now there is no drop going from first to second or second to third. Like I said the top end feels strong as hell now passing on the interstate is much easier.

ack, I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this, but I really don't know what happened... I just put Final Drive gears in Saturday night... Drove it around that night, and alot Sunday afternoon.. Then Sunday night, Car starts making this really loud squeeling noise from gears.. I kept driving, called a friend and told him to meet me in a parking lot... It took me awhile to get there because my car kept slipping out of gear.. I finally got there, but there wasn't much we could do.. Got a cable and towed it home with a truck.. Am I going to need my transmission rebuilt? Anyone know what could of happened? I thought we did everything right when putting in the drive gears, but obviously we messed something up.
