Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
X2, Personally I'd look at 3.42's or 3.55's first. But then again I loved the 3.23 ratio I had on my 99 that was an auto. I'd also recommend leaving the gears alone and getting a converter instead. And, you can do that yourself to, if you need help, I'm sure somebody here would help.
ive heard gear install can be a tad tricky if you havent done it before for somethin like that i would probably look at taking it to a mechanic.
X2 if you don't get the teeth lined up to spec you can destroy your rear end! If you have not done this process before I would not suggest trying it. Also, used gears can be in rough shape sometimes especially since the only people who would choose to upgrade their rear end gears most likely will be racing the car or at least driving more aggressively. Oh and make sure you change the gear lube when if you do it.

Considering that when you pull the cover the oil/gear lube is going to come out no matter what I would really hope nobody would put the old used lube back in after changing the gears. That would just be foolish and asking for trouble.
As with any and all used parts, do a thorough inspection before you buy and with gears make sure the ring & pinion gear are the matching set as they should be worn in together. So long as there isn't cracks or visible stress they should be fine. Also, new or used, get a new pinion bearing pressed on, that way you know its good. I'd also recommend to anyone that has no experience to get help from someone that knows what they are doing or get a book, better yet both if possible.

x3...a 3.23 gear is a good all around gear. I personally wouldn't waste the money on gears at all.
