Guest Anonymous Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 ok got a 1982 280zx as most of you know non turbo 5 speed what rear end gear do i ahve and how well would that do with a 350turbo short shaft at 60mph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73BOTIZ Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 According to my info it would be a 3.90:1. The ring gear will be stamped 39:10. It is always a good idea to check as rear ends do get swapped out from time to time. Mike D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greimann Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 The stock ZX slave cylinder doesn't have enough throw to disengage the clutch with a stock Chevy throwout arm. On my ZX car with Chevy T5 tranny, I am using the ZX slave cylinder with a modified chevy throwout arm that places the slave pushrod closer to the pivot point for reduced throw requirement.

danc Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 My 83 non-turbo 5 speed is a 3.90:1. Great launch with a SBC and a 92 g series van/700r4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 well scratch the 350 turbo i just made a few trades and i got a 3 speed manuel out of a nova.... ok got a new question its a manuel clutch and can use the slave cylinder off my manuel in my zx now and drill the holes and have it push the fork the same??? or will this not work i mean that looks like all they did on the stock zx 5 speed any ways and the 3.9 rear came in the turbo i hear that the nan had i higher gear... like a 3.4???
