Firebird V6 rear end?

[setzer6127]

Hi guys does anyone know for sure if the V6 firebird rear end is the same as the stock trans am rear end?

I think the pinnion bearring is going out in mine, horrible noise sounds like i have 55 inch stuby mudders on the back. I found a v6 rear for 350, figured that would be cheeper than having a shop redo mine. But i dont know yet.

Ok, i thought so, but i went ahead and decided to have my rebuilt. Bought a motive performance ring and pinion for it.

The rear would have worked, but it would be a one wheel peel and different gears.

No, it would have been an auburn.

Eh, it was on ebay.. it was 350 plus shipping who knows when it would have showed up. I got someone to rebuild mine this next week for $425 plus any hard parts that need to be replaced. Decided with the whine coming out of it to go ahead and replace the ring and pinion.. so i bought that off of summit. we'll see how it turns out i guess!

I watched a V6 Bird yesterday one wheel peel on wet pavement. Sorry V6 was not limited slip. It may have been an option, but wasn't standard.

Thats cause the rear was shot.
