I have already attempted to post this thread, but I don't think the post was successful. So, here goes with my 2nd attempt to post........
Has anyone swapped out the 3.73 gears to the 4.09's in the gt 350? Were there any issues?
I was told that a different set of gears in conjunction with the flat-plane Voodoo engine wasn't recommended because of possible cabin noise, excessive vibration, and cabin drone. I was told that the engineers jumped through hoops to tune out the resonance, vibration, and drone that is inherent with the flat-plane engine and that 4.09 gears might make the car crazy. And that the inter-cooler differential might not function with the bigger gears.
I would have more pleasure driving my GT 350 if it had the 4.09 gear set. I enjoy inter-city cruising (red light-to-red light) and the sound of down shifts and up shifts. 35 mph is the usual speed limit in city driving. The red-line shift from 1st to 2nd occurs at aprox 60 mph with the 3.73 gears......that's considerable jail residency if caught.
