don't know if they are gunk like the motives, but from all the research I have being doing on them, everyone I have talked to have said to stay with the Ford Racing gears

I have always found Richmond Gears to be high quality products. I pretty positive they're made in South Carolina and not imported crap from some sorry part of Asia like others. I wouldn't have a doubt about installing them in my Mustang.

They aren't junk, supposed to be very strong because they are race gears but are a straight cut so tend to whine. I took mine to a specialty shop to reduce the whine and the installer said he didn't recommend them for a daily driver because of the whine tendencies and would stay with FRPP if possible for a daily driver.

As strong as they are though I managed to bend the pinion N/A on my V6.
