Thanks mate it is a bit hard but i will get to keep my 6yr old son hopefully and that is all that matters in the end.

The extractors are the genuine ones that came on the 200kw motor.

Hopefully someone wants these gears who needs them.

Are you going to use them or sell them?

Also they are from the IRS rear so that may change for some off you not sure if they fit the live axle.

Replaced them with 3.9s was a good jump for the auto.

I bet it was!

I just put a 5 speed into my SR and added 3:7's and that was a massive jump.

What revs does your car now do at 100kmph? How did you adjust the speedo?

I believe that the gears themselves are interchangeable between live axle and IRS.

That's about what mine does, 2,200 rpm. The 5th gear must be slightly shorter than the 4th gear in the auto.

It feels really strong when overtaking yeah, just like every car should.

Thanks mate, they should go well with everything else I've got planned!

Thanks again for your generosity.

When you get a chance, just send me a PM with postage to 3073 VIC and your details, and I'll transfer from there.
