EXCEL from Richmond Differential Ring and Pinion
$301.42

If you're diving into the world of gear ratios, let me tell you, the EXCEL from Richmond Differential Ring and Pinion is a solid choice. These gears are built to last, with a focus on quality that you can actually feel when you're behind the wheel. They're designed for a wide range of GM vehicles, from the classic Buick Skylark to the rugged GMC Jimmy, so you know you're getting something that fits right and performs well.

What Makes These Gears Stand Out

  • **Ring Gear Diameter:** At 7.5 inches, these gears are made to handle some serious torque.
  • **Gear Ratio:** With a 4.56 ratio, you’re looking at a nice balance of power and efficiency. Perfect for those who want a little extra oomph without sacrificing too much on the highway.
  • **Material:** Made from 8620 steel, these gears are tough enough to take on whatever you throw at them.
  • **Pinion Specs:** The pinion shaft diameter is 1.438 inches, and it has a spline count of 27. This means you get a solid connection and durability where it counts.
  • **Compatibility:** These are designed for GM 7.5"/7.625" (10 Bolt) differentials, so make sure your setup matches before you buy.

Heads Up!

These gears fit both the front and rear positions, so you can swap them in where you need them most. Just remember, they work best with a differential carrier break of 3.23 and higher.

Fitment

Here’s a quick rundown of vehicles that these gears fit:

  • Buick Apollo (1973-1975)
  • Chevrolet Camaro (1982-2002)
  • GMC Syclone (1991)
  • Oldsmobile Cutlass (1977-1981)
  • Pontiac Firebird (1977-2002)

And that’s just scratching the surface! Whether you're restoring a classic or upgrading your daily driver, these ring and pinion gears are a great way to boost your ride's performance.
