TurboLX · June 21st, 2007, 01:26 PM

oh no doubt about taht, Auto= SUCK

MSO · June 22nd, 2007, 02:23 AM

well manuals were options on the 2.3s so.. i jus assumed lol

i dont really read thru posts thoroughly

then again, i dont htink turbo does either

manual FTW

TurboLX · June 22nd, 2007, 09:24 AM

no your right MSO, i usually read some of it and i usually determine the rest which ends up being what i thought

Thewolfman456 · June 23rd, 2007, 04:27 PM

I would suggest getting new gears early on. They won't give your more HP but they will help you use the power you have more efficently.

TurboLX · June 23rd, 2007, 04:30 PM

no doubt about that but he has a wiped tranny so gears wont help much lol, but in case your wondering, most 2.3's came with 3.45 gears

MSO · June 23rd, 2007, 06:38 PM

and whats your source for this information? i thought they jus came wit the same gears as the 5.0s

TurboLX · June 23rd, 2007, 07:00 PM

my source?? the tag on the rear end is my source, and most 5.0's had 3.55's

My'Stang0pens · June 23rd, 2007, 07:01 PM

so y is it common knowledge they all had 2.83s?

TurboLX · June 23rd, 2007, 07:05 PM

well fake MSO, some earlier years did, i know different models like the hatchs had that setup but the most verts had smaller gears to move wieght quickly

MSO · June 24th, 2007, 01:21 AM

i see, i see..

so how do i find this out? on the axle assembly?

TurboLX · June 24th, 2007, 12:08 PM

theres a metal tag on the differential cover that will say it, its esy to notice cuz it looks like a tag on a shirt hanging but instead its metal

MSO · June 24th, 2007, 12:12 PM

i see i see

ill check it out

TurboLX · June 24th, 2007, 12:18 PM

it'll be a bit dirty so gotta do some grinding to clean it

MSO · June 24th, 2007, 12:20 PM

haha that sucks.. holding a grinder under the car lol

TurboLX · June 24th, 2007, 10:28 PM
