Default 4.10 gears

Would this be a good upgrade for my pretty much stock mustang besides a exhaust. I have a 06 mustang gt automatic. would getting new gears show a huge difference and how much? also if i were to i no the gears dont run THAT high probley round 180. but how much does the maintnence cost ???

thanks

4.10 gears for an Auto is the BEST mod for the price. Shop installed mine for $285, but it varies greatly from shop to shop.

Thats a good price. The only shop around here I would trust to touch my car wants $550 but that includes the gears and a seal kit and synthetic fluid.

You'll feel the 4.10's for sure (stepping up from 3.31's)...I'd do and exhaust system next, CAI + tune...

Consensus always seemed to be to get 3.73's if you had the automatic and 4.10's with the manual.

Automatics came with 3.31's, have a torque converter and automatic downshifting that helps keep you out of the really low rpms, and have shorter 2nd and 3rd gears than the TR3650 does. So there's less need to go as deep with the axle for the automatic.
