High Reving To Pull Off t5 trans
 
I recently put 3:73 gears in the rear of my 94 5.0 5speed i ran them for about 3 weeks perfectly with no problem i enjoyed the difference, now im having to rev up really high to pull off in every gear with a studder in low rpms in 4th, it feels like a automatic with no fluid in it, has anyone else had a similar problem if not the same.

i noticed that i could put it in gear and come off the clutch and not press the gas and it wouldnt stall in fact it started pulling off, bought the car in feb never had any clutch problems or tranny problems til now

Sounds more like something to do with the motor and intake/fuel system than the trans or rearend.

Try the typical things first (MAF, plugs, injectors). No codes being thrown yet?

as far as the motor everything checks out fine, no codes or anything. I'm hearing that clutch glazing could be an issue, i put e3 spark plugs in a while back so i canceled that as a option

This sounds crazy, do smell anything getting hot? I think I would look into the gears being setup really really tight. This will act just like the brakes are dragging. I have seen this before with bad installs. It cooks everything in the rear.

i put the gears in myself, this is the fifth time i've installed a set of gears im familiar with the clash so its all in correctly, i snatch the clutch out yesterday and it was done, the flex plate was fried and the flywheel was glazed and full of small cracks, in neutral the car rolls fine but yes it felt like the brakes were dragging. i stopped in the middle of the tear down, went and got myself 2 stitches down the back of my pinky lol so i will be placing it all later on.
