I'm thinking about dumping 4.10's in my stang. How will that effect my driving on the freeway? Will i hear a crap load of whine and lose a crap load of gas?

My ride is a 5spd 302 GT

there talking about 94-99... i have 88 manual gear

[dr.gonzo]

I have read alot of sites that say to use 3.73 for manual and 4.10 for aod.
I have 3.73 with aod and I know I would'nt want to step up to 4.10s the gas milage prob isnt that bad but I would say 3.73 is the perfect balance between top speed and accelaration.

daily driver or drag only?

I have 4.10s in mine and drive it to the girlfriends every friday wich is a 30 minute highway ride its not too bad you just dont wanna do like 90 the whole way, and your gas milage will drop a little, but in the city it gets real good milage.

With a 5 speed 4.10s aren't too bad but that all depends on what your definition of "too bad" is. Expect a 4-5 mile per gallon drop in fuel economy over a 3.55 or 3.73 gear. That is what myself and my brother in law both seen anyway.

Bad-ass coupe ya got there Darrell.

Yea u will definitly lose gas mileage but you wont hear any whining or anything from them.

I have heard "Strange" gears whine alot...If you get gears, go with Ford or Motive, and maybe a few others.

[89StangGT]

a buddy has strange gears and they dont whine at all.

[Tony_90fox]

hmmm, well that is just what i heard man. Just get them installed right and they shouldnt whine...maybe the case i heard about was a back yard mechanic install.

[89StangGT]

yeah whatever you do have someone who knows what their doing set them up. its not something you want to take on yourself if you dont have experience.

I've never heard a set of gears whine that were installed properly. Strange and Richmond are probably the two best companies on the market. A small error in pinion depth or backlash can and will make noise.

The only car w/ the gears that I heard whine was my neighbors, but that was because he had spool in there

[89StangGT]

my ford 4.10s whine a little because they wernt set up right, but the rear end is out getting done this weekend and set up right with new moser 31 spline axles and an eaton carrier

[Tony_90fox]

so you arent selling it anymore? I have personally never heard gears whine, i just heard about Strange gears whining...but like somebody said above, none of them should whine, it was just the install.

[89StangGT]

if someone wants it i will sell it but as of now im leaning towards keeping it.

Well I just installed a new 16gal RCI Fuel cell with another Mr. Gasket fuel pump a few days ago so I have some gas to spare(lose) on gear change. I'd like to replace everything on the insides like the axles which I find no where expensive, and the differintial Oh crap that's costly but imma save for that.

I want to finish my engine soon. Thanks guys. I just wanna jump at the light every now and then because these 3.08's are laggy and when I do have enough gas. It's like the engine is spinning faster that what the car speed show be LOL
