    Hey been tossing around switching over to 2.93 gears wondering if it is possible to get to the chain and sprocket with the trans still in the car. Searched and didn't find anything specific to this. Thanx for any input Toby

    So you have a compg and you want to downgrade it essentially?

    I'm sure the pcm would have to be programmed for the different gear ratio?

    You can do it, but it's a huge PITA. You would probably be time ahead if you just pulled it out.

    The biggest issue is the input shaft. You'd need to get the ring off it to pop the new gear on and I'm not sure how far into the TC it's going to want to slide. Otherwise..the writeup I did on 4th clutch hub is the depth you'd go.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Easy to do. I say that because I've dropped that cradle side many times for valvebody work.

    I was wondering if I was the only one that had that same thought. I have a CompG trans in my GT(P) and I'm not too happy with the fuel economy I'm getting out of it. Might be a swap in my future as well.

    You guys may laugh, the minute I got 3.29's I missed the highway life of the 2.93's. Now I'm rolling along in the L26 with 2.93's in the trans.

    Bonnies came with a 2.86 and an NA motor. You'd never win a race from a stoplight, you'd pass every gas station once you found the highway.

    I did a regear on mine in the car. Super simple, just about anyone could do it. Take the snap ring off the input shaft and pull the sprocket off, input shaft doesnt go anywhere. I went the fun direction though lol (2.93 to 3.29)

    Not bad never really bothered keeping track of mine. One of those cons of owning a Comp G. I just learned to deal with it and tell myself you didn't buy a Prius what do you expect.
