Feedback on 4:10 gears opposed to 3:73s

97mustanggt · January 11th, 2010, 06:04 PM

I currently have 3:73s on my 97 Cobra and and i am so used to it already (tha acceleration mainly)...after hearing all tha hype bout 4:10s i was wondering wats your guys take on it...are 4:10s worth it?...

oh yeah and if i do decide to go 4:10s my friends knows a shop were they will charge me $275 is that good?
thanx

Putting 4.10 on Thursday I will update as soon as i get to drive it.

97mustanggt · January 11th, 2010, 06:17 PM

how much you paying?

Smoothgrandmama · January 11th, 2010, 06:47 PM

Going from 3.73's to 4.10s is not worth the 400 its going to cost

tripleblkmartini · January 11th, 2010, 07:52 PM

Im not sure i called around and got prices from 500 - 800. Which is nuts since i have EVERYTHING. Mine may be so much cause Im putting in 31 spline axles and a Auburn Posi and the 4.10s. I may just end up doing it myself.

I had 31 spline axles, 31 spline differential, and 4.10s put in my gt for $250

I love you...

Oh and I just ordered 4.10s for mine. Alltho i wont be able to drive the car after I do everything to it till spring. Winter projects FTW!

jessemachone · January 11th, 2010, 08:08 PM

not worth doing IMO

Scott2001GT · January 12th, 2010, 03:14 AM

When changing the gears your shop should not charge you to put a 31 swap in there. Just the gear/oil install.

97mustanggt · January 12th, 2010, 10:47 AM

should i go wit a alluminum driveshaft instead of tha gears?

tripleblkmartini · January 12th, 2010, 11:37 AM

HELL NO
Getting it all installed for 250!

Mach Boy · January 12th, 2010, 01:04 PM

I agree with not going to 4.10s from 3.73s, but if you want to make the jump to 4.30 then go for it. I wish that I would have.

97mustanggt · January 12th, 2010, 02:51 PM

yeah ill probly just save up for an alluminum drive shaft...cuz other than that i dont know wat to buy anymore haha

Diabeetus · January 25th, 2010, 02:42 PM

Yeah not much difference betweeen 3.73 and 4.10. As stated above Id go to 4.30, or even 4.56 if you dont do a lot of highway driving. My buddy has 4.56s in his mach and if it wasnt for the fact he drives it on rare occasion and drag races it he'd have 4.30s.

DeMello · January 25th, 2010, 03:58 PM

4Vs love gear
get 456s

97mustanggt · January 25th, 2010, 05:17 PM

thats wat i hear, but ill stick to 373s and save up for alluminum driveshaft, i already got manifold spacer, im on a quest to buy every bolt on haha

alum ds doesnt do much
should be last on your list, if on your list at all

Smoothgrandmama · January 26th, 2010, 08:04 PM

Reducing Rotating mass weight is always a good mod.

Ryan Paymaster · January 26th, 2010, 10:10 PM

I'd spend that money on headers if I were you and you didn't have them. That or drag radials and light weight weld wheels if you're racing.

But for people doing this modification to start then 4.10 minimum.

I would have went higher if I knew I wasn't going to over gear the car for future modifications.

The best thing to do to your car is have a plan. If you're feeling 3.73 aren't powerful enough just pretend you planned for a D1-SC and do that next.
