Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone can shed any insight on swapping the taller gearing from a Cobalt XFE into a regular cobalt. I THINK it should be a straight up bolt on if i can find an XFE tranny in good condition. It would give a good drop in FE. I'm also wondering if it would be cheaper to just swap out the gears in the diff (as i think it's the final gear ratio that they changed)
