They'll never stop whining, and neither will you, so change them ASAP.

Sobetween the stock diff and two-piecedriveshaftI think those are the main reasons that S197s have so many gear whine issues.But as far as gear brands, GENUINE FORD RACING gears are the only way to go IMO.

RE: Ford Racing Gear Warning
Criticism is not neccesary. Statements such as you should have read the forum or paid attention are not helpful. I made this post to be helpful to those who may not have seen the previous posts (like myself). It is easy to criticize and be a jerk,but moreimportant to help and thats what Iamtrying to do. FYI I do read the forums regularly but some of us have lives outside of the forums and can not monitor them 24/7. I appreciate all the responses from those trying tohelp. I have decided to replace the gears and am going to use genuine Ford Racing Gears. Even though I am not very happy with Ford right now. Also, I would like to give thanks to Late Model Restoration for thier assistance and allowing me to exchange the gears although I did not ask them to do so.They are truely a class act.

I wanted to switch the gears on my 2007 GT Convertible automatic with the 3.55.
The FRPP code is M-4209-G355M
Are those from Motive as well?
Does anybody knows if they will whine?
Thanks for your help

Waste of time to go from 3.31 to 3.55, go with 3.73 if you want to notice a difference, its a good choice for an auto, because of differences in internal gearing make it about the same as 4.10 in a manual. others may dissagree but there are some that went from 3.73 to 4.10 and did the same or worse in the 1/4

Thanks guys, I seen all the posts stating to stay away from Motive Gears but I didn't realize Ford was using thier gears under the Ford Racing Brand. Oh well live and learn.
