Installed one set of used gears in a 68 Firebird for a friend. Horrible gear whine after all that work. Learned my lesson. But once, cry once…..Spend the money get a new set of gears and don’t look back. Certain parts are just fine used, for me a ring and pinion is not one of them.

Just installed a fresh set of 3.73’s in my 71 GTO, went in well and no gear whine whatsoever, Richmond gears.

Just my .02
