Default 2.73 posi rear from 98 trans am going on a 95 3.4l

its for sale for 200 and its in pretty good condition. comes with rotors/calipers and i was wondering if this is going to slow down my 3.4l 5speed.

You already have a v6, Thats bad enough so why put 2.73 gears in... try 3.73 posi. That will run great with a lil v6.

It's going to throw off the speedometer. Yes, it is going to make your car a little slower accelerating.

What your V6 needs is a little more torque so if I were you I'd get some 3.73 gears.

I'd prefer this not turn into a v6 bash thread, so please keep the wimpy v6 comments to yourself. Thanks

you will probably get better gas mileage with 2.73s, if were talking drag racing your end mph will be slower but like i said it all depends on your setup, a buddy of mine has a turbo ls1 with 2.73s in the low 10s, but lower gears do help with boost but like i said it depends on application
