3.73s vs 4.10s

motorhead6776 · January 30th, 2008, 11:53 PM

why do people prefer 3.73's for a manual opposed to the 4.10's? i know theres a like for a gear calculator floating around too anyone know what the link is?

AtlanticBlue99 · January 30th, 2008, 11:59 PM

first gear is really short for the 5speed compared to the auto

94v6blkndred · January 31st, 2008, 12:02 AM

for a DD 3.73's just seem more logical...unless you really hate your first gear and dont like being in it then 4.10's FTW haha

Gears are just a torque multiplyer. If you have alot of torque you dont need the gearing

For your 6 cyliner cars I would recomend 4.10s for everything includeing manuals

I wouldn't... I would recommend them for the new edges and the auto SN rounds... for the SN rounds that are manual you will want 3.73s cause first will just be to short

defeats the purpose of a 3k tranny swap if your only getting a few hundredths in the final drive

change the final drive

Onemanzu · January 31st, 2008, 12:35 AM

there ya go... first sane idea in this thread

some companies will rebuild the T5 for you and depending on how much money you have... you can have your final drive lowered about 2 to 5 hundredths
