Title: 31" tires and now TOO slow! Gearing question
Post by: Htamotorsports on November 06, 2007, 09:20:44 AM
Well I have an automatic 95 2dr hardtop tracker 16v, It used to move out pretty well, felt very peppy, but after I put these 31s on it feels like a dog, I can barely make it over hills, I did some research and it looks like I need to get some 5.12s in there. does anyone know where I can order them online? Ive been looking everywhere to no avail. Also can anyone link me to a diy or tech article on the install? Ive never tackled an R&P before. thanks!

5.12's came stock in the manuals, they aren't too hard to get ahold of.

I had the same problem. I went to an exhaust shop and for under $300 had a new high flow cat and muffler installed with 2 1/4" pipe and it got me back to "stock" performance with the tiny 26" tires. It sounds cool too. I'm running a 5 spd though. But now I get up the hills just fine. Also improved my MPG by 2. I haven't done header yet either it's on the stock header.

I have the same exact setup, 95, 16v, auto, 31" at's. Went from the stock 4.30's to 5.13's and what a difference. Pulls just fine. I'm thinkin' of going to 33's now, seems like it's got enough gear. Runs 4k at 70mph on the highway.
