      Description

      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. Ford Racing Ring and Pinion Gears are perfect for street, road, or race use.Superior Quality. These Ford Racing 3.55 Mustang ring and pinion gears feature a super strong forged construction, CNC cut & lapped gear teeth, and a black oxide finish to resist corrosion.Recommended Upgrade. Changing the rear axle gear ratio will throw off the calibration of your Mustangs speedometer, but a Ford Racing Speedometer Recalibration Tool is an inexpensive way to fix this issue. Application. This Ford Racing Ring and Pinion Gear set will fit all 1986 to 2014 V8 Mustangs including GT, Bullitt, Mach 1, Cobra and the 11-14 V6 Mustangs equipped with the 8.8" rear end. A master bearing kit is recommended by most installers, especially on high mileage vehicles, see drop down option above.Attention 2010 and newer Mustang Owners. Starting in 2010 Ford changed the inner rear gear pinion bearing in all 8.8" equipped Mustangs. Because of this you will require a new 8.8" rear gear pinion bearing (Ford part# 9L3Z-4630-A) for proper installation, please see drop down option above.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.

        Good gears

        Put these on my 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis. They do whine when off the throttle and was told it's normal... I have 3.73s on my 2004 Mach 1 and those whine too... Normal?

        5 1989 LX - DanielW Installation Time: Shop Install

        just the right ratio for the street

        The original 2.76:1 ratio meant either cruising below 1500 rpm or above 2500 rpm to keep with the speed limits, with the 3.55:1 I'm able to run between 2000 and 2500 rpm. And the up shift and down shift points are better spaced. I dropped about 4 mpg, but as a wise man said, it's not miles per gallon but smiles per gallon, and this new ratio gives me a lot of smiles per gallon.

        Love the new gears

        These are perfect for the everyday driver looking for that little extra power, without a lot of cost. Works great with a stage 1 clutch, and a motor with mild power address. Recommend this highly

        Ford ring and pinion 355 gears

        Best thing I have done to my Mustang lots of low in power the only draw back is my spedo is off 20 mph. I just drove it from Montana to Ca using my gps for my spedo. Took it to my local ford dealor and they could not fix it. on my trip my car had 1000 extra miles show up

      Do I have to set the back lash on this kit

      I have an 01 gt manual trans is there a chart that can show me speeds and rpm wondering about hwy speed rpms

      Should I go with 3.55s or 3.73s for a turbo setup?

      • There isn't exactly a "correct" answer, however the higher the gear ratio, the quicker you'll be getting to 60, but the lower your top speed will be. You should be able to make a decision based on this relative to your application.

      2014 V6 manaul with 273 gears to a 373 gears I have a 2014 V6 Mustang with a 6 speed manual with 273 gears. Will the 373 gears be too much for the V6 ? I have already a CAI, Magna Flows, Airaid Throttle Body Spacer, BBK 73mm Throttle Body and a Bama Tuner. Also with the Bama Tuner do I need to buy the tool to recalibrate my speedometer ? When ordering how do I tell if my rear is a 8.8 or are all the 2011- 2014 the same size rear.. Also how must lost of mpg will I lose approx. I'm getting 32.4 now.

      • 3.73 Gear will be a great upgrade for your V6 Mustang. You will take off faster from the line but it will not be to aggressive where you don't want to daily drive the car. Since you already have a Bama Tuner, you will not need to buy the Calibration Tool. The Tuner is able to calibrate the speedometer for you. Your 2014 Mustang V6 comes with an 8.8" Rear End. You will get a small decline in MPG due to the larger gear ratio. It will also depend on how you drive the car. For a proper install, you will also need the Ford Rear Gear Pinion Bearing - 8.8in (10-14 V8; 11-14 V6), item # 52994, (http://www.americanmuscle.com/88-gear-assembly-2010.html) and the Motive Rear End Installation and Bearing Kit - 8.8 in. (86-14 V8; 11-14 V6), item # 21201, (http://www.americanmuscle.com/rearendrebuild.html). In 2010, Ford changed the inner rear gear pinion bearing. This requires the use of the 8.8" Rear Gear Pinion Bearing. Also, it is a good idea to replace all bearings and bolts that involve the rear end. This is because parts eventually wear out and since you are installing a larger gear, it can cause unnecessary wear.
