" Hey everyone,
" 
" I'm looking for a good set of used 2.73 ratio gears for the AMC model
" 20 axle. I think this ratio only appeared in Jeeps.
" I am putting this set up in my 70 Javelin. I have the twin grip differential
" for the gear set. I think this ratio will be great with the T5 manual.
" First gear in the T5 is very low, barely get rolling and I need to shift.
" Also I like the option of being able to cruise in 4th or 5th gears. Fifth
" would run the engine at a low an rpm. Great gas mileage.  If  I'm
" not thinking correctly on this I hope you guys will let me know before I
" get too far into it.

what gear is your carrier from?  the 2.73/2.56 gears have their own
carrier separate from the 2.86-up gears.

iirc 2.73s and 2.56s could be found on some late-'70s amc v8s.  they
can also be found, with torsen posis, in hummers.  amc20 3.07s and
3.31s can only be found in jeeps.

i still would like to know if the hummer 3.08 fits the regular hummer
2.73/2.56 torsen carrier or if it has its own carrier.

i am assuming you know that the hummer [h1], true to its amgeneral
roots, has amc20 differentials.
