Good question..........but I am also worried if the rest of the transmission can handle a rear gear upgrade? Wouldn't this put the drive shaft at risk?

I personally think the 3.73's should have been stock. Give us the gearing to take the 2011 stang

A lot of people actually report a 1 or 2 mpg improvement because the car gets up to speed easier. If you run the interstate regularly you may lose 1 or 2 mpg. At 70-75 mph you will be running just a tick under 2000 rpm in a M6.

The transmission and drive shaft are not affected by the gears. Your axles would be placed under some additional stress but its not significant.

Motive has the rep of being the most quiet....3.90's would be a good compromise as well.

I would like to see some1/4 times with both 4.10 and 3.73 gears to see how much the car picked up over the stock . I think GM put the 3.45's in for fuel mileage

Oh cool.........thanks man.

itsorange · 06-18-2010, 09:31 AM

i'm sort of a noob here but 4.10 means the engine turns 4.1 times for every 1 revolution of the wheel? and which gear does that apply to??

no wait that doesn't work out does it lol, ok I don't know what does it means, can you explain?

caverman · 06-18-2010, 09:39 AM

I've got a headers/tune fund going and was hoping to do that at the end of the year.

So....would you spend the money on headers/tune or do the gears?

I know that years ago when I went from 3.08 gears to 4.10 gears in my '69 it was a complete day and night difference. Eventually I ended up going to 3.73 with a 5-speed because 4.10 with a muncie 4-speed basically kept you from getting on the highway.

I think this looks like a promising upgrade, even with few other mods; but why would noise be considered an issue? And would this work as well with an A6?

Where is everyone finding the best price on the Richmond 4:10 gears?

mhood · 06-18-2010, 10:00 AM

Do they void warranty?

I want 3.73 gears how much did yours cost and where did you have them done in Dallas Camaro 21. I am thinking that 4.10 are going to limit your hwy. miles.
