This guy took the prop valve out from under his hood to sell it with the axle? Isn't he nice. Razz

Mike sold me his brakes as well, yes. When he says "not PBR" he means that it has the older cast-iron calipers on it.

So you're gettin exactly what I'm getting for $150 cheaper?! WTF?!

Like I said, offer the guy $250 for the 3.27.

*Edit: Might take a look at this one. Have to see how bad the gears look.

Pitting? does that mean the gears are wearing out?

Alphius · Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:32 pm Post subject:

It means there are small pits on the surface of the gears. I was thinking of calling that guy up as well, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

What's better for street? 3.27 or 3.40?

blue89 · Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 8:48 am Post subject:

I would go with the 3.40. Either would work though.

Which one will roast the tires better? Laughing

No 3.40 for a 9bolt. Thought it was 3.27 or 3.70 in 3series....

The one on craigslist said it was 3.40

Schultzy89GTA · Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:13 pm Post subject:

Likely it is a 3.45. Factory ratio's for 3 series carriers in the 9 bolt were 3.27, 3.45 and 3.70.

3.45 was common in 5 speed LB9 cars. My '88 had one. Auto LB9 and L98 cars typically had the 3.27.

That is my 3.70, 9 bolt that is for sale on craigslist. I took a picture of the pitting when I first picked it up and posted it in this thread.
