Suggestions please! Driveshaft vs 3.73

Antfo89 · April 15th, 2009, 07:14 PM

Aluminum Driveshaft or 3.73 and the rebuild kit first?

What's your ultimate goal?

Plan on swapping transmissions later on down the road? If so, don't waste your time with either.

If you plan on sticking with the same transmission, aluminum D/S. How about other mods?

yeah it kinda depends on future plans. but i would say gears. they are the best bang for the buck.

I never thought about my tranny much I don't think i'm going to replace it let alone need to eventually I want is S charged nothing major major so I got one that says driveshaft and one that says gears haha stock 3.27s right now plan on going to 3.73's

Willy Mo · April 18th, 2009, 06:12 PM

yup i would also do 3:73's since your planning on doing a SC.

I have no experience with either (yet), but I would say the gears. A driveshaft later on will be an easy swap, gears are a longer install. Plus your car will feel different with the 3.73s, why not get them in first and get used to them before forced induction? My 2 cents

Gain from a driveshaft will barely be noticable, if at all. Gears first.
