Which Gears And Why

Stang6899 · September 28th, 2006, 12:45 PM

Which gears should I get for my 99 v6 5 speed.

turp · September 28th, 2006, 12:49 PM

3.73= 5 speed
4.10= auto

mdvaldosta · September 28th, 2006, 12:53 PM

I'd say it depends on what you want, there really is no best gear... just generalizations.

daily driver on highway- 3.73, more city and race oriented or mpg is no effect- 4.10

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 04:26 PM

shit man, everytime i see a post about gears idk what the hell to get. i switch from 3.73 to 4.10s mines a daily driver...so i think im finally just sticking with 3.73

Sweet, good luck. The ~180 difference in RPM's dont harm gas mileage near as much as you'd think

damm man, now i dont know

Well if you're doing FI, 3.73s are definately the way to go.

But if youre not, 4.10s work fine on a daily driver. Its really a matter of personal prefference. I cry a little inside when I see the whole "auto = 4.10 manual 3.73" arguement brought up. I dont see much of a point to that arguement, as a 5 speed can benefit just as much from 4.10's as an automatic can.

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 06:01 PM

well when i get FI i need an 8.8 rear anyway...so i might as well get 3.73's with it
well would there be a huge difference in 3.73 from 4.10 in a 5speed...as far as performance

scubasteve041186 · September 28th, 2006, 08:35 PM

scubasteve041186 · September 28th, 2006, 09:46 PM

haha no just what gears i should want and if the 4.10 gears were really that bad or not for a 5-speed

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 10:25 PM

scubasteve041186 · September 28th, 2006, 10:26 PM

itschristorres8 · September 28th, 2006, 10:27 PM
