Ford Racing gears for 7.5" rear end


I have been told by several vendors that Ford Racing does not produce gears for the 7.5" rear end.

At the same time, I am seeing several other vendors that are claiming to be selling Ford Racing gears for the 7.5" rear end.

Can anyone tell me in a definitive manner whether or not Ford Racing does indeed make gears for the 7.5" rear end?

frpp gears are ford racing gears and they do make them for the 7.5. The vendors telling you they don't have them just might just not carry them.

I specifically asked if it was a matter of them not carrying them or if Ford Racing actually did not make them. The response was that they were not made.

I got around that by buying from a vendor that did advertise Ford Racing products for the 7.5" rear end.

There are several vendors that you can choose from.

StangSuspension.com has the gears and t-lok but no bearing installation kit for the 7.5" rear end.

V6MustangStuff.com is where I ordered my stuff from and they carry Ford Racing gears and t-lok along with a Yukon installation kit for the 7.5" rear end.

Drivetrain Specialists is getting a lot of good recommendations from here lately.

I hope the above is of some help to you and good luck!

Wow, Summit Racing is a lot cheaper than a lot of the online retailers too.

Unfortunately, they are not shipping the 3.73 gears until Mar 08, almost 2 weeks from now and they don't list the 4.10s.

I have a 2002 v6 and was looking to purchase the 3.73 gears for my car too. What is the actual difference between the 3.73 and the 4.10. Will one be better than the other?

stock 3.27 gears(ring and pinion in your rear dif.) your tires will go 3.27 rotations per 1 rotation of the driveshaft, but with 4.10 gears your tires will go 4.10 rotations per 1 rotation of the driveshaft. Hence you get much better acceleration.
