Rear Gears Question!

mustangGT_00 29 April 2005 02:20:59
 First, thank you guys for being a big help. I got a 2000 GT conv. with the
following extras:
Cold air intake (fender)
stock h-pipe w/o cats
flowmaster mufflers 2 1/4
18" rims w/ 245/40 FR, 275/35 RR

Planning to get rear gears, which one/brand would u recommend, 3.73 or
4.10, reasons, and MPG effects? any help would be appreciated
thnx

 If you are driving mainly in the city with city traffic then get 3.73 or
3.55 gears. With 4.10 gears you will hate 1st gear. You'll be at about 3,000
RPM before you reach 10 MPH Lol! Many guys who have 4.10 gears just start
in 2nd from a complete stop. 1st revs way too fast. But...If you are
planning to stomp on it everywhere you go then 4.10's are alot of fun :)­
Remember the higher the ratio, the higher the 1st gear rev at whatever speed
you're driving at.

 I agree with Gumby.
Even with 3.73's I start in 2nd sometimes.
And with the higher HP you have compared to me, I would go with 3.55 gears,
especially if you plan on doing any more future power-related mods.
UNLESS you are a total-drag-racer-bo­y...
Also, do you go high speeds often? Like above 75? If so, you won't like
anything above 3.55 much because your RPMs will be higher. No more cruising
at 2K RPM.

 If the car is an automatic.. get the 4.10 gears. If the car is a manual..
get the 3.73 gears. You do not have a T-45 transmission like I do (and I
don't like this T-45)... so the 3.73's won't have the exact same impact that
it does on my car. Like our RPMs will be diff. due to diff. gearing in the
transmission.

 I have a 98 Cobra. Of course it's a manual tranny.

I put the 3.73 gears in mine, It isa nice mix of performance and economy.

 I have and 04 GT conv with the Tremac 5 spd., Don't waster your time with
3.73's, At the advice of my local Mustang shop I have 4.10's and am glad I
did. There is not much difference between the 2 gas mileage and RPM wise.
But the extra bump off the line is great. The stock 327 gears at 70mph ran
at about 1700 rpm, 373's will run around 2100 and my 410's run at 2300.

 Mine is pretty close to that too Mike...

As our poster can see there are MANY different opinions on this subject. He
will just have to choose what he thinks is best for his own application.

I like my 3:73's, if I had it to do over again, I would do the same thing.
They have enough torque to send me sideways in second gear, and that's
enough for me.

 See, I like top end too, so I went with the 3.73s.
Off the mark 4.10s may be more beneficial for 1/4 mile runs, but to ME I
like to hit 100+, and I like to do it as often as I can get away with it.
Again, your mileage may differ :)­ But this is the primary reason I chose the
gears I have.

It's actually the reverse. The automatic needs the torque more than the
manual.

 Agreed. But I'd still go 3.73's w/ manual.. and at least 3.73's w/
automatic.. depending on the gearing in the transmission.

An opened differential sends power to only one tire, the least effective
tire, the one with the least resistance. A limited slip differential sends
power to both axels/tires, much better traction. If you are going to screw
around putting in a different "performance" gear ratio and not have limited
slip (you may already have it) that would be silly. If you spend the money
changing gear ratios, make sure you have limited slip too.

To see if you have a limited slip diff check the VC label on the door
jamb. Find the axle code.

Here's some possibilities:
X5 — 3.27 conventional
Z5 — 3.27 conventional
VM — 2.73 limited slip
LE — 3.27 limited slip
ME — 3.27 limited slip

If none of those match check here:
http://www.vibrates­oftware.com/html_hel­p/html/Ford/Ford_Mus­tang_1992-2005.htm

...you can also check the diff tag itself. It has the ratio and if
it's limited slip.

 Thanks guys for the info. that was helpful site. I checked my stang, and

3.73 from ford racing and let'm install it tomorrow so i can race Kate,
lol.

 You'll know it's a limited slip when you light up the tires on both sides.

 So do I. Nothing wrong with 4:10's and 100 mph. Hell, it gets you there
quicker. RPM @100 mph with 4:10 is 3600 and about 3300 with the 3:73's.
Probably can't even measure the fuel economy difference.
