Talking Get your rear in gear
If the rear gear from a N/A fits as Jim has said, then it can be used in the car.

The computer is looking for a certain number of pulses from the wheel "tone" ring. The pickup is the wheel speed sensor and if a replacement ring were to be cut and installed to give the speed sensor its correct number of pulses; the computer would give no codes and the abs would be intact.

Its just a matter of figuring out where to mount the ring and relocate the sensor to count the "teeth" as they go by. Robs water saw would be my first thought make up the wheel rings.

HOWEVER UNTIL THE REAR STRENGTH IS IMPROVED, THE LOWER GEAR WOULD WORK A GREATER HARDSHIP ON THE DIFFERENTIAL PIN. I.E. you would work MORE torque on the rear and thus greater deformation and damage.

Iam working on the clicking rear and believe that I can improve the rear strength, but this is one project that I dont want to TRY on my working car first. I would do the change first after I can get some physical measurments off a bumm one first.

Ill leave it to others to do the calculations as to torque increase over the stock srt ratio and the approximate gear number and rev / engine speed to be expected at the end of the 1/4 mile.

Enjoy, Woody

This is not a Ekoj Loof Lirpa, Iam serious here.
