Need Help Deciding?

If the ring and pinion gears in your 1997–2013 C5 or C6 Corvette are worn, damaged, or due for replacement during a differential rebuild, this is the direct OEM-ratio replacement you need. While a few other manufacturers produce 3.42 ring and pinion sets for the C5 and C6 platform, Motive Gear is our recommended choice after years of hands-on experience in our shop. Competing options tend to cost more while delivering less — Motive Gear consistently offers the best combination of quality, durability, and value.

Manufactured from 8620 alloy steel — the industry standard material for performance ring and pinion sets — this gear set is engineered to deliver the same quiet, smooth operation as the factory original. No gear whine, no break-in surprises, just a direct, confidence-inspiring replacement that performs exactly like what came from the factory.
