My question is this: what were the gear ratios available with the '81 TA? My car seems to have some kind of performance gear, as it really is up there in RPM's on the highway. I'm easily running 3,000 RPM on the highway and people are passing me right & left. I'm thinking aroung 3.42 or lower. Thanks to all!

Sounds like its probably 3.73s.Wish mine had those in it.Mine has 2.56 gears......good for gas mileage or highway cruising but not cool for performance.Gotta get some new gears for the posi rear I have,the 2.56s are way to high for me.

Was working on the TA today & jacked up the rear end to pull old mangled exhaust out. Looked at the rear end & saw a posi tag on it
 . Put the tranny in nuetral & spun the tires, both tires turn same direction . placed a piece of tape on the tire & driveshaft & rotated tire around once, driveshaft turned almost 3 3/4 times. I figure it's a 3.73 rear end! Kick ass!!Steve |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
