I want to change the gears in my 1990 5-speed supercoupe, to 3:73 gears. I have read that my car has 2:73 in it now. i was wondering if I have to change the carrier or add a ring gear spacer. I dont really want to put a spacer in though. If anyone knows about this please respond to this, thanks.
 
That's a pretty tall gear for a 5-speed! A lot of people go with just the 3.27s that can be found in most of the automatic SCs.

Any 8.8" ring and pinion set should fit in there just fine with no additional problems. You will need to have the gears setup for the proper backlash and need a few special tools and parts to do that.
