RE: 05-07 mustang speedshop ?
Thos would be the ford gears, you'll need to take it in and have it checked they shouldnt whine.
ORIGINAL: sharknose
To answer your questions.
The gears are 373n's which i believe are ford right? I was told by the tech at ford racing that they are fords and i could get away with using the same pinion shim. The backlash varied from 1 tooth to another to abouth .002 runnout. Maybe the carrier is warped eh.
I did the gears myself so im screwed

There is nothing different about setting up gears in the new stang vs the last gen stangs. You just need to find someone who knows what there doing.
IMO two things that cause gears to whine so bad in S197s are:
1. 2-pc driveshaft
2. possible mal-machined gearcarriers
I say this cause after I had my trutrac installed my gear whine decrease a to about half of what it was. After I put in my spydershaft it got even quieter. Now I only have whine on decel between 60-50 and its barely noticeable.
What exactly was the part number of the gears you had installed?
Did you break them in properly?
Have you taken the car back to the shop to have them re-check there setup?
