Weir Performance 5.29 Final Drive Video

Greetings all,

I just thought I post a video after we installed a 5.29 Weir Performance Final Drive. I found very few videos when I was researching so this might help those thinking about getting something very similar. Enjoy the video.

Thanks for sharing. I know many people are looking for such videos, as I did before getting the 4.88 FD.

Below is the 4.88 FD from weir performance.

Sorry if I derailed your thread.

Awesome videos guys.
I was actually thinking of going 4.88 since I have the auto.

Hey @kitlives do you have a video of the speedometer going thru gears? Would like to see what your shift points are with the 5.29 Thanks .

@Lunatic , What is your RPM at in 6th? I use 5th mainly to just stay in the 3k range around 70.

Did you use the weir FD as well?

@kitlives
1st gear still useful on city driving, like stop and go traffic.
Do you pay for installation?

2750 rpm in 6th gear @70 mph.

I just bought the ring and pinion from them. The shop that installed it did the rest.

It's been so long ago now I really don't remember. My installer had all the shims.

That don't sound right to me. What size tires you running. I'm running 255/40/17 which is 25" dia. 78.6 circumference.

Stock size 215/45. I was wrong though 4k is at 80. 70 is about 3500. Still a lot higher.
