JordyCharlieBoz · 20-10-2009, 11:23 PM

Just wanting to know from the guys in the know (im hoping some of you) what BW 3.89 gears are worth 2nd hand. Local transmission joint said 2nd hand would be fine as they last about 1mill kms.

Im a Mk2 escort guy so the price of BW gears havnt been something I follow. Untill i decided to put the diff out of an EB in the lil beast.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can get those gears out of a 86-91 R31 Syline.

Nissan Pintaras run the 4.11 gears.

Price is a bit steap in my opinion.

I knew about the 4.11 in the pintaras. But not about the skyline. Thanks

But i have done my calculations and i really want/need 3.89s. I can get other ratios cheaper but i figure i spending 15k on the escort i might as well pay a lil more for the gears I really want.
