[QUOTE="SteveWK, post: 15915474, member: 139323"] Thanks for the information. I agree. I think there is something to the harmonics of the car and 3.73s, but I think it can be minimized if the gears are installed properly. I do have 4.10s sitting in the other room, and I will most likely install those. My car is headed back to stockish power levels, and I don't think 4.10s combined with the taller transmission gears in the 2013 GT500 will be a big deal. The 3.31s are like having a Powerglide manual transmission. I wondered the same thing. Do our cars have those weights? If so, not sure if mine are still there. Interesting you used crush spacers. The crush spacer would be easier for me rather than repeating bearing preload with shims and a solid spacer. Maybe there isn't an advantage to using a solid spacer. I don't understand why after setting pinion depth you wouldn't be able to get the backlash set properly (your comment about using 3 crush spacers). Setting pinion depth is suppose to put the pinion gear in the proper position relative to the ring gear center line minus any left right ring gear shims. ?? Just asking, not criticizing. The entire rear will come out for the install. I am not in my 20's anymore (add 30+), but I do have help from another forum member. This is going to take time, but I will document it. [/QUOTE]
