This ring and pinion comes out of the 1LE, and the higher numeric ratio gives your fifth-gen Camaro a dramatic increase in acceleration. The drive gear increases effective rear-wheel torque multiplication by 13 percent in a manual-transmission Camaro SS, and a whopping 20 percent in automatic cars. The complete 3.91 Performance Gear Kit includes the ring and pinion, all hardware, shims, gaskets, oil additive, and instructions (included, not shown). The 3.91 gear installation requires recalibration, which is installed by a GM dealer. Application for a CARB E.O. has been made at the time of this writing.

Do you have the chevy part # for the full kit? I can only seem to find this: GM Part #22813040 which doesn't appear to have the shims/gaskets/etc...

3.91 with factory SS wheels and tires is about the same as the factory 3.70 gears in a GXP and their 19" setup. 2200rpm at 80mph or there about.

What a joke!! I'm having problems on the same issue. My dealer said its gonna take a year to get the gears.

Does anyone have these gears installed on their L99?? If so how is it (since I see majority is LS3 & since 1LE's only come in manual).

Brandonss · 10-08-2013, 11:35 PM

This is a pain in the A$$ but I am gonna beat this...... seems like the dealers dont know half of what i am talking about..... but lingenfelter sure dose ....they told me if the dealer never done the install befor stay away find some one else

JCunningham · 10-08-2013, 11:44 PM

thats why I had a gears shop do it. No idea if dealer really knows how to do it. Dealers replace rear ends not gears.
