4th gen camaro rears
 

Are the rears in the V6 cars the same as the V8 cars? The car I just got has a 3.90 gear in it. I dont really like it. I want a 3.42. We just got a junk 99 V6 car with a 3.42 and a locker. If its the same I'll use it.

something about 3 ch & 4ch ABS, but i forget what years, can you tell by looking how many sensors it has?

3 and 4 ch is traction control vs no traction control IIRC. either way you've got to use the right one to retain ABS and traction control

roadcone got it right.

the actual rear is the same minus the carrier and abs/tcs.

also wtf dont you want a 3.90 in that car for? it needs a 4.33!

got a 3.90 in mine. i like it, but its a grandpa cruiser. lol

My girlfriend drives this thing everyday. Im just trying to get some MPG out of it. I'll keep the 3.90 rear. If I dont like the 3.42. I'll change it back, but I dont see that happening. Hell it changes to second before you get across the intersection the way it is now. I'll check on the 3 and 4 chanel thing tomorrow.

not worth changing the gear, imo. at least thats what my lazy a55 says. might help a teensy bit, but wont be a big savings. would take forever to recoup the gear/install cost. 4 channel abs came on cars with traction control. if your car has the button on the dash, it should be 4 channel. otherwise, its 3 channel.

Its not going to cost me anything. We paid $300 for the V6 car that has the rear I want. We will end up getting $400. When we scrap it. I got a lot of parts off it. And there is more to it than just the MPG. The gear in it whines, and it sees a lot of highway miles. Get tired of it turning 3000 rpm. It has a slp loud mouth. It lives up to its name.

Better off putting quiet exhaust on it. The gear won't make but about 150rpm difference on the highway.

i had LTs, ORY, and LM1 on my lt1...that paired with 3.42s behind an auto...dont bother answering a call while driving...

i would swap an overdrive trans in there.

It has a overdrive. It turns 2800 at 80. Its going to make more than a 150 rpm difference. I'll look it up when I get back home.

I've got a 3ch with 3:23s ill trade you for that 3:90 rear.

you're right about 300rpm difference.

if you want mpg put a 2.73 gear in it from an auto back in it... you'll stay in 1st thru the 1/8th

yea, bout 300-350ish rpm drop. i'm an old man, i drive 70. :mrgreen:

My car has 4.11's, auto, and a badbob customs bullet dumped at the axle. It sucks.

troof....I got 29-30mpg at 70mph...also ran 14.5s stock

I allready have a complete 3.23 and a 3.42 rear. I,ll keep the 3.90 incase I dont like the 3.42s.

Im not looking to kill it completely. Just tame it down a bit. And really anything I lose with the gear. I can get right back and then some with a converter. The car see,s a lot of inerstate and highway miles. Converter wont hurt the MPG on the highway.
