Just Bought A 04' GT, Wanna Start Modding! ? About Gears

StuTheMusicEngineer · October 20th, 2006, 01:43 PM

hello all...just bought a 04' GT, thinking about getting 4.10's, but concerned about getting some whine....is that typical when u change the gears? is going hurt anything...

ChrisJ · October 20th, 2006, 01:45 PM

If the gears are put in correctly then there should be no whine...

You will love the gears...

Its the best mod for the money IMHO...Other then forced induction ot nitrous...

i just put some gears in...i put in richmond and everyone said they'd whine....they dont...as with all 4.10 or steeper gear...they will wind a very very very tiny bit when you come to a stop...at least they do on automatics...i'm not sure about manuals...i know this because i've got 2 buddies with the same yr. make and model as mine with autos...we've all got the same set up...and all of us have a slight whine when slowing down only...they have frpp's and again i have richmond...so...they wont whine while driving but may have a slight one slowin down...in my opinion it sounds damn kool when i slow down...hehe dont forget a tuner...XCAL2...dont get the diablosport...theyr're no good for gt's...

gears = you being ideal!

i'd hit up 4.30s if its not a daily driver and 4.10 if it is and your not goin with FI...3.73s if your going for FI soon

Are you auto? 4:10's are definitely the way to go...

ALWAYS THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL BE SETTING THE CAR UP FOR. AUTO 4.10'S IS GREAT MANUAL 3.73'S OR 3.90'S ARE GOOD. HIWAY MILEAGE WILL GO DOWN BUT WILL HELP IN TOWN AND AWSOME AT THE TRACK. IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH FORCED INDUCTION A LITTLE TALLER GEAR LIKE 3.55 WILL BE A LITTLE NICER AND MORE FORGIVING.
