What year and model did the 37/11 rear drive come from?  My LS is geared 32/9, which is a 3.55:1, and a 37/11 would be 3.36, which sounds a lot more appealing.  Speedo correction....will you do it?

It was out of a /5
I had to buy 2
 The first one was junk and I had to send it back and buy another one
If you get one off of eBay You may want to pull the cover and make sure it is good and then reseal it when reassembling it
Just depends on what the oil in it looks like 

The speedo is only off 5% 
I will not change it unless it goes bad
 
I don't  remember if  the gas mileage changed
I have not ridden it  since July  because  the heads are off of it 
I suspect it stayed the same or went down because I just rode it faster

The older ones are harder to work on but they are less likely to leak oil onto your brake shoes
They have an oil catcher around the out put seal and the brake shaft does not run thru the oil

Here is a picture of the bad crown gear in the first FD I got off of eBay

Some one rebuilt it and did not get the pinion depth correct  >:(
