Welp. Apparently I have 2.73 gears stock, and if I plan on swapping gears, I have to purchase a "thick" gear set. Well, me, not knowing this, caused me to buy the standard 3.73's. So now I have to drive 35 miles to get the set I bought, send the back to Speed Inc. wait 2 days for the old gears to get back to them, pay them another $30 for the thicker gears, wait another two days for the new gears to get here, take them 35 miles out to the shop, and wait another day for the gears to get installed. So I prolly won't have the car back untill mid next week, whereas I was SUPPOSED to get the car back last Saturday. Rant Off.

That sucks, I guess I would have just thought you had 3.23's but that's why you check.

You can check your RPO codes on the inside of your door jam.

Should be but give Speed a call just to be safe.

That's what I plan on doing first thing in the morning before I go to work. Hopefully I can get my other 3.73 gear set shipped back to them tomorrow instead of wednesday.

Check and make sure you have 2:73's. 2:73's were popular with the early 4th gens but the late models I thought all had 3.23's.

yes. 2.73's came in Auto LT1's. 3.23's only in early 93 6-speed (me) and then all the rest were 3.43 but with LS1 i dont know. i jsut didnt think they put 2.73s in an LS1.

Automatic LS1's carried 2.73 gears as well as the 3.23 gears, dubbed " performance axle

according to the performance shop, they said I had 2.73's which is why the ones I gave them wouldn't work. I'd trust them over me trying to figure it out. I don't mess with that stuff.

Just buy a 12 bolt and be done with it.

12 bolt is $2000 that I definately don't have, nor need at the time.

I think Bens LS1 had the same gears as you Adam.
