Anyone put 3.98 gears in a gen 2?

[jmpSHO2nd]

Just what the title says, I'm curious if this has been done and if so how did you get the PCM tuned. I know someone did it on there Gen 3 but I couldn't find anything on a gen 2.

I did it when I had my turbo 94 ATX. I never did quite get the converter to lock properly after the gear change but there may be a solution now. It really woke the car up.

where did you get parts for the gear change?

i assume we are talking autos only...

was it as easy as just changing the ring gear?

Alex, I dont know if Scott told you. We are going to try this on his broken trans, and try to repair it. If so, we will post a how-to. As far as tuning goes, I really think Binary Editor will be the fix. Im an mtx guy, but I wouldnt mind a 3.98, camm'd, atx, DD.


Edit: The reason why I say this about BE, is that it is said to have 'full' TC lockup control.

Either that, or a manual lockup button (which would work, but be a pain in the ass), or Megasquirt. You can load alternative software on a Megasquirt to control an auto tranny instead of a motor, and run it for just the tranny.

3.98's are Fun! lol

3.98's coupled with tri-flows and a bunch of other bolt-ons, really give it the power it needs. 14's this summer should not be a problem. Soon as the turbo goes on, it will be pushing 6-8 psi on a big turbo! Get 3.98's, there is a noticeable improvement.

Done it many times. It adds $400 to the price tag of our transmissions.

Tuning is a snap too.

Give us a call and we'll tell you all about it.

So you can tune my PCM to work with 3.98 gears?

if memory serves doug has had been able to do the tuning for a very long time. He uses SCT for tuning.

and again 3.98 gears

Yup. Not a problem. H3Z, H3Z2 or D4U1.

We can do the V-8 cars and even the 3.5L TT SHO.

Pretty much, anything with a blue oval on the grill.

 

[SeanMc]

So Doug, when do you move your biz to SoCal?

 

[SHO Dude]

Uhmmm...never. Still in Sunny Atlanta Georgia.

I love the south. Much more conservative than the Republic of Kaleefornya.

LOL... agreed

 

[SeanMc]

I live in Orange County, CA. Very conservative.

One county doth not a state make.

Besides, CA's got enough car shit. The rest of the country likes cars, too.

But it doesn't have a guy like Doug. Sure someone can be all GUNGHO-F-YEAHFOOOORDFTWIPUKEONBOWTIE!!! But they don't know anything about the SHO, or how to tune one.

You guys had your chance with ShoShop, and you blew it. Stop hogging all the glory.
