I have a stock 00 Vert, with 5 speed...I am in the process of putting the Eibach drop springs on, and a pypes offroad x pipe and catback. Other then the tires/wheels and the few things I have posted the rest is stock. I have been thinking about a gear change but wanted to see what anyone else may think about this change. Is it to much gear etc.?

They really like a 3:73. You will need to have it tuned if you put a 4:10, just because of the rapid acceleration. The computer won't like it. But with a tune it will fly!

Don't fear the gear. Go with the 4.10's.

Go with the 4.10s, the SOHC cars love the RPM's.

I have an '06 GT 'vert. I would like to get 4.10 gears too. I am rather anal about my 'Stang and I don't want ANY whine or gear noise. Can anybody recommend a good installer in the Cincy area? :confused: I heard there was a guy near Batavia that was really good, but I lost his name. I've heard a lot of horror stories about gear changes, lube leaks and gear whine afterwards. Like I said, I want it done right the FIRST time.

From personal experience Paul's Automotive did a set of 4.10's for me a few years ago. They were perfect no noise going forward or in reverse.

I'm thinking of going to a guy named Andy Law. I think this is the guy in the Batavia area.
My son had 4.10s installed at Paul's and had it in there like 4 times because of a persistant pinion seal leak afterwards. I had a set of 3.55s installed in an '85 GT at Paul's. That install went OK. Paul's is pricey.

I'm still considering. I spoke with both Andy Law and a gentlemen from Modular Depot. I have a concern about picking up gear whine, which I DO NOT want. The fellow from MD assured me there would be no whine - period. Andy was not as sure. Andy said he couldn't guarantee absolutely no whine with any ratio above 3.73. He said if I did have a whine, it would be slight. Since I now have 3.55, 3.73 wouldn't be a big enough change to warrant the change. Both Andy and MD quoted me the same price. Both places sounded to me like good, dependable shops.
I'm just a bit gun shy because I had a 2000 GT and had a guy (highly recommended) from Brookeville, Ind. put in 3.73 gears and totally screwed it up. :confused:

If you have Ford Racing gears you should have little or no trouble. Just avoid FRPP gears with part numbers ending in M.

I've been on my FRPP 4.10 gear for 3 years now, and not a bit of whine. It was my daily driver for 2 of those years, 70 miles round trip.
