Thread: Rear End question

What do you guys think i should do about that lifter tick that i get?
get a new cam, or just readjust my rockers? And if i need to readjust my rockers, some info on how u guys would do it would be appreciated!!

I finally got to install it today, and it's amazing!!!! Well, of course, a couple of issues. My tranny goes through gears like a knofe through butter, and my speedo is gone crazy. My old pinion shaft, had a sprocket on it, that the new one didn't have. That was for the ABS sensor, but the new pinion is so much smaller than the old one. Anyway, i don't know how to recalibrate the speedo. Does anybody have any ideas?

no tach just yet. Why, how would that help?

Don't ya just wonder sometimes

if the trans. has a gear in it for the speedo. you might can change that. if it works through the computer you will have to get someone to change the prom in the computer for you. with the new gear you might need to re-adj. your trans. tv cable. ain't it fun.

Holy crap, i took it on the highway, and, i gotta tell you, it wasn't fun. Rough if anything!! At 120km/h, when i lay off the gas, the gears pull me back like mad(no need for brakes), and when i'm on the gas, after 120, the tranny kicks out for a second, i lay off the gas, and it kicks back in. I test drove it at night time, because there are less cars on the highway, and if sth was to break down, it was to break down then and there. It feels like my transmission isn't strong enough to spin my gears at high speeds. Do you guys think a shift kit for the 700r4 would help, or would wou recommend a tranny swap. I was looking at the 4L60, and the TH350, but i don't know if that's a very wise move. On the streets though, it is crazy fast. After 20km/h, it shifts into second, and i got it to squeak tires in 3rd even. Pretty damn beefy. I was thinking if i was to get a cam, a high rise intake and a better throttle body and injectors, i might be a little more relieved.

You have asked for advice, and knowledgable people have advised you. You have chosen to ignore them. Learn from this.

You are going about this bass ackwards. You are the first person I have ever seen trying to build a car around an axle ratio. Stop, sit down and take a deep breath. Take a piece of paper and write down what you want your car to be. Your rear end ratio should be what your engine and use needs, not the other way around. When you've figured out what you want, your "great deal" rear end may or may not be what you need. Building performance is planning. You are not planning, you are fixing. Take the time. Decide what you want your car to be and go from there. Changing transmissions is NOT your next step.
