  Plan First...

  These 4.10 gears from Motive were the third modification I had done to my GT. The difference in acceleration was very noticeable. One thing everyone warned me about was a drop in fuel efficiency, which I did not see. The gears allow the engine to operate at a more efficient speed, which won\'t really affect mileage if you keep your foot out of it. Another common misconception is a drop in \"top speed.\" That is totally false. Your top achievable speed will actually increase now that the engine will be operating at a slightly higher rpm. Sure, the top redline speed is lowered to 156, but unless you can run 8\'s in the 1/4 mile, you have nothing to worry about. These gears did have a little bit of whine, mostly heard when no load was placed on them (coasting). Unless you hear excessive whine (almost like a loud hum heard at all times), you have nothing to worry about. I recommend you give these gears a couple of heat/cool cycles before putting the pedal to the floor. That hardens them up. Lastly, plan things out before you get 4.10s. For an N/A Mustang, they provide a good increase in acceleration at the cost of 500 rpms. If you plan on supercharging your Mustang, I urge you to consider 3.73s. Overall these are a very good set of gears, and ideal for most Mustang owners. I recommend purchasing the differential bearing kit with these gears.

  Great Gears

  if you have a mustang with an 8.8 rear axle, you have to have these gears, it is NIGHT AND DAY, just from these gears alone i saw a huge increase in power all across the powerband

  Unreal!

  These gears really improved my cobra, not to mention american muscles incredibly fast and superior customer service, ordered some parts from summit racing. I then ordered parts from american muscle the american muscle parts were shipped out half an hour after ordering online and showed up at my door a week before the summit racing parts. Absolutely incredible customer service cannot go wrong with american muscle. As for the gears they really woke my 400rwhp cobra up i would recommend them for any muscle running under 600 rwhp

  4.10 Motive

  The install was very tedious and I recommend a shop do it. The performance is ok but Im still breaking them in, so cant say to much on that. Noise...well thats a dif story. Nice and quiet on accel. But as soon as you let off the gas and it decels, it wines very loud. Kind of embarrasing at times. Ive looked alot into it but most say its the material and/or backlash. So if noise doesnt bother you, get them. If it does..... research what you want prior.

  Noticeable difference

  I just had these installed with a Detroit TrueTrac on my 3.9L V6 and they made a very big difference. They do make some noise but I don\'t think it\'s annoying or unbearable, actually sounds pretty cool when I let off the gas and roll, sounds like it\'s winding down haha. And as always American Muscle was outstanding with how fast they shipped them.

  whine

  go with ford racings gear(At least thats what my shop told me). These gears whine. It annoys me, if it doesnt annoy you then buy them. The 4.10 and the tune made the car so stupid fast. Just got my first ticket in them!!!! LOL. That\'s why i give the 4.10\'s a five star! Definitly needs to be first mod

  4.10s + Auto = fast!

  I put these gears in my 04 GT auto when i still had it. Everyone told me that 4.10s were to big for a DD auto car. I can tell you they were wrong! these gears among other mods allowed me to go from 14.7s stock to a 13.61@103. also on the highway the RPMs were not bad at all to me. with the 4.10s and auto i still averaged 20MPG and even got a best of 24MPG on a road trip. DO NOT FEAR THE GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4.10s will be going into my 07 GT as well

  Wow!

  Hands down one of the best mods you can do on a Non-PI mustang. All I can compair it to is, it feels like the car has a shot of nitrous. Once again AM.com has the best/fastest shipping times around!
