is there a better gear out there like a 3.73 for a maxima. i have a 96 auto but still want to upgrade. any better suggestions for gear ratios and where to find would be most helpful.
thanks

The Maxima is a front wheel drive car with a transaxle and no rear differential. You cannot change the gear ratio in an auto transaxle. Your thinking of ring and pinion ratios. 3.73s are popular in mustang rears.

 

so new ring and pinion? pretty new to this whole upgrade business. with cars at least. where might i find a upgraded ring and pinion set and what is a good ?ratio? of the 2?

 

Just about any rear wheel drive car has options for final drive ratio's. Which gear set depends on the car and what it will be used for.
