I spent last weekend rebuilding the rear end and changing gears. Just got it done today and back on the ground and tested. This is what I did, Changed gears, Pulled the 3:73 and installed 3:31. Replaced bearings , quickie paint, vent breather bottle in the trunk with new AN fittings. GT mufflers installed. Reinstalled the Kenny Brown rear roll center relocate kit. (testing a hunch.) I have never done a gear swap. It is a pain in the butt ! Not sure I would do it again..yeah right ! I took the time and went slow, set it up the way I wanted it spec wise, back lash was the biggest issue. I set at .010 and only a 1 1/2 of time. It is much quieter than before. The chatter is gone. Seems smoother as well. I will see if I blow it up at Laguna on the 22nd.
 
No blow ups allowed on the 22nd. ;)
