i have red some of the threads, i was wondering if anyone has changed out their fifth gear from a s54 to s51? was wondering if the rpm drop was drastic? also if anyone has completly re-geared their s54 from first thru fifth? the reason i ask is because my third gear grinds and the front shaft bearings sounds like its gone bad already. so since im going to crack it open was wondering if i can re gear it. aside from finding a lsd for it.

Using the same gearing calculator mentioned in the link I posted earlier, I made a chart and overlaid the two (using the S54's 4.176 final drive) in order to show you the how the gearing would look if you were to swap an S51 5th gear into your S54 transmission (with the stock tire size)
Here is the S54: ![]() Here is the S51: ![]() S51 5th gearset in the S54: ![]() Overlaid comparison of 5th gears in the S54: ![]() Edited to clarify final drive used. This post has been edited by AMCMoe: Jan 10, 2012 - 10:17 AM |
