Richmond Gears

06VistaBlueGT · June 3rd, 2009, 09:31 AM

I did the TR6060 conversion this past winter. I have 4.10 gears in the car right now but they just aren't enough with the gearing in the TR6060. I was going to go with 4.56's but I still don't think that will be good. A friend of mine is trying to talk me into 5.13's but I'm afraid that will be too much so I think I'm going to go with 4.88's. My problem is FRPP doesn't make 4.88's, at least not that I can find. I did find 4.88's in Richmond's. Has anybody used Richmond's in these rear ends? If so, would you recommend them?

Richmond gears are a very good brand. 5.13's would be over kill. You should be good with the 4.88's.

Strange Engineering makes them too. Here's a link...

The Motive gears they have listed are (Italian) a different company than the domestic made motive gears.

I told you so a long time ago. Just run to Summit and get the FRPP M-4209-G456'S, its what your looking for.

lol, I don't think 4.56's will be enough with the TR6060. I have to slip the clutch a lot to keep it from bogging at the line. I don't think the 4.56's will help enough. I think 4.88's will work much better. If FRPP made 4.88's, I'd run up to Summit to get them. I might have to run to Summit to get the Richmonds. This weekend is our last points race for 5 weeks. I'm going to get a new clutch and gears installed during the down time. Hopefully I'll be closer to the 12's afer everything is installed.
