Review & Installation Video

Improve ET's and low end torque. Are you looking to get more low end grunt off the line and lower ET's at the same time? Then look no further than installing a set of steeper gears in your Pony. This Ford Racing Ring and Pinion Gears are perfect for street, road, or race use.

Complete Kit. This Ford Racing Gear and Installation Kit comes complete with all the components needed to swap out your ring and pinion gear. It includes Ring gear, Pinion gear, 1 bottle of Friction Modifier, 2 bottles of 75w90 Gear Oil, gaskets, seals, shims, bearings and all the required hardware.

Legendary Ford Racing Quality. When you're adding performance parts to your Pony, you can't go wrong by installing parts from the folks that know it best. Ford Racing's legendary quality ensures years of hassle-free use.

Recommended Upgrade. Changing the rear axle gear ratio will throw off the calibration of your Mustangs speedometer, but a Speedometer Gear, a Ford Racing Speedometer Recalibration Tool or a Bama SF4/X4 Power Flash Tuner is a quick and easy way to fix this issue.

Application. This Ford Racing 4.10 Rear Gear and Installation Kit is designed for use with 8.8in solid rear axle equipped Mustangs, including the 1986-2009 GT, Bullitt, Mach 1, Shelby GT500 and 1994-1998 SVT Cobra. It will not fit the 1999-2004 IRS equipped Cobra Mustangs.

Technical Note. Installation costs will vary, but a good rule of thumb is between $250 and $300. Be sure to work with a reliable shop that you trust for installations. You can also save money on your installation labor by having your Trac-Lok rebuilt at the same time as your gears are installed, see drop down option above.

Should I get the Traction-LOK rebuild?? I have a 2007 mustang GT automatic with only 20k miles on it.. Do you think I need the traction-LOK rebuild kit.. PLEASE HELP I don't know what to do !!!!

Yes go ahead and get it. It will upgrade it the cobra and gt500 specs. The carbon discs hold up way more. And since I'm sure you'll be getting nasty with those 4.10s I'd go ahead and upgrade. You'll have to reuse your clip spring though the kit comes with a cobra spring. But yes go ahead and spend a little extra!
Unless you are going to take it to the track and do a bunch of hard launches you won't need it. If you had higher mileage I would recommend a replace or upgrade.
Since you are putting some taller gears in it sounds like you are doing some drag strip duty with your car. You are going to have the diff torn down to change the gears it would make sense to freshen up the traction loc as well.

Real quick question, ordering these gears for my 97 cobra. Which gear tooth exactly will I need to fix my speedometer?? 97 cobra stock t45

For your 97 Cobra with 4.10's you would either need a 23t speedo gear, or you would need a 6 tooth drive gear used in conjunction with a 20t speedo gear. We do not offer and recommend against the 23t speedo gear, as they have a tendency to wear prematurely not seen in the lower tooth count gears.

Do i really need the rebuilding loc kit? I have a 2001 ford Mustang gt convertible 5 speed with 97k miles I want to purchase the 4.10 install kit

The Ford Performance LOK kit is not required to do when swapping how gears, however, it would not be a bad idea to have everything changed to new when you are in and doing the gears.

Helpful (2)

will i have to update my tune through bama whenever i install these new gears? i have a bama tune and am wondering if i will have to email them requesting a tune upon installation.

Yes - for those with 1999+ V8 Mustangs, you will want to let our Bama team know that you have upgraded your gear ratio. They can add that to your tune information, which will correct your speedometer reading. Hope this helps!
Yes. The gears will affect your speedometer and shift points for transmission. If you have tuner that you can update your mods you can also do it that way. But it's really easy to call or email Bama for a custom tune.

can i use this oil ? car specifies 75-140

Use the oil that comes in the kit.
You can. The 75w-140 flows the same as 75w-90 The 90 is a thinner viscosity than the 140. Both are fine to use. I use the 140 vs the 90. Really just a preference. Ford used to call for the 90. Then changed do to the 140 being a tad better at resisting breakdown.

I have the iTSX tuner, if I get the gear kit can I correct the speedometer myself ? All ready have a tune installed . Do I HAVE to get a new tune? 06 gt automatic 1 answer

If you have custom tunes on the ITSX you would need to get a new updated tune. If you are using the pre-loaded tunes on the ITSX then you can adjust it yourself.

is anything else needed to change gears 1 answer

This would be a full kit and would not need anything else to do the swap. A tuner would be recommended to correct the speedometer but would not be needed for the install of the gears.

I've had 2 quotes for this upgrade by local shops. 1 was for $2100.00 plus tax telling me I need to upgrade my carrier as well. the other was for $1200.00 plus tax both are way higher than the suggested cost. I own a 2007 Mustang GT 4.6L 3v that has a 3.31 rear with 8.8 axles why would the cost be so much higher than what you list on your site. 2nd question Dose this car ave a 28 or 31 spline? 1 answer

For the 2007 model years, the Mustang GT had 28 splines, the GT 500s had 31 splines. As we do not partner with any installation locations, we cannot comment on the quotes you received from local shops. Conferring with the shops in question to confirm exactly what is included in their quotes (labor, parts, shop fees) is suggested.

04 gt geared up automatic

very nice kit. took out the 3.27s and had the 4.10s installed. low end acceleration is 2 thumbs up. the car comes up on the powerband a lot faster. I used my sct tuner to calibrate the speedo. On the highway in overdrive the car does well. the flowmaster exhaust is screaming a lil bit from the higher rpm from the gear ratio. I love it

Perfect fitment. The only thing I did not like was the bolts that came with for the ring gear. They had a little bit of play sitting in there so I bought oem bolts. But other then that great product for the price!

Best Mustang Modification

Went from stock 3.27’s to 4.10’s in an 03 GT with a 5 speed. I drive 90 miles round trip for work daily at 70 mph and love it. Makes the car way more fun to drive. If you do the install yourself be sure to support the car by the frame to let the axle drop as low possible to make it easier to install the pinion bearing races. Have a torch handy in case you need to heat the old bearings up to drive the old pinion out.

Good quality gears

gears are probably the best upgrade you can give your car on a budget, unless you have money to get forced induction. More often than not you probably won't be using the high end of your car unless you want to drive around going 150mph so enjoy that low end rip and get the gears. The Ford racing gears seem like they are good quality.

Awesome gains

This gear kit is really well worth the money. Comes with everything you need. I took it to my local shop. They charged me $350 for the install but its so worth it knowing it was done right. No gear noise at all. Night and day difference from 3.27 to 4.10. My cars an automatic so it helps a lot. Ordered a Bama tuner yesterday, waiting on that to get here to fix my speedometer and tune my car. Can't wait!

Do not fear the gear!! Were I live highway speed limits are 55 to 70mph.... But when you punch the pedal it's a game changer... It made my stock 97gt with the pi swap and cams and some mild bolt on and it will wake it up... I recently put a serious quick whooping 0n a 2010 rt challenger from a dig.. They make 450hp stock.. So thats night and day for you... You will be in love... Now I'm going boosted so I might be going 6speed but till then I'm in love with the 4.10
