yeah from alot of the installs I've been looking at it isn't a big job, just requires tons of precision measurements

Is this an automatic LT1 you're swapping the rear gear on or a 6 speed manual?

Try Allens Gearworks, 727-784-0452. He on the side street next to the Home Depot at Curlew and 19.
He did my 12 bolt over 5 yrs. ago and never had a problem or whining gears. I brought him the posi, which he rebuilt, bought the gears from him, had him put in longer wheel studs, brngs, etc. and assemble it all together. I did bring it to him out of the car and I put in the car myself when he was done. I think I spent around $600, yrs back.
Call him for a quote, he's good.

I thought the A4 LT1's had 2.73 in the back stock, not 3.23.

3.23s were an option, most had 2.73s
the 1994 trans am gt had 2-3 things that made it different than a trans am
raised spoiler and 3.23s in the auto 3.43s in the manual
p.s. - how will changing from a 3.23 to a 3.43 be easier than going from a 3.23 to a 3.73?
they are all 3 series carrier gears, if you want to share you knowledge and help with the install that'd be nice
