Shops around here do because brands like Motives require extra work because they need to mess around with shims more to get them installed correctly, so they charge extra labor.

RE: What brand gears are these?
I recently purchased Ford 3.73s ( new on Ebay) and the only place around here who installs them is a tranny shop. They install the gear and call me and tell me there is a problem. I went up and drove it and you could feel like one gear was not meshing right because it had this faint thump. So there I am screwed.. they put Motive in and claim that is all they use when they buy them. I have to admit... the Motive gear is smooth and no noise at all. The down side... they quoted me 300.00 to put the Fords in.... the whole job cost me 1050.00. That left a mark...plus the Ebay dude " Just can't believe I had a problem but won't take them back because I bought them 3 months ago. Needless to say my Ebayin days are over.

False. I just had my 4.30's installed. The guy used stock shims and I think 1 or 2 extra, took the appropriate measurements, and everything was in spec. This guy knows what hes doing also, he only has a 9 second race car which he built himself.

Some are, some aren't. The part numbers ending in "A" are Ford products. Ones ending with "M" are made by motive and they're a little cheaper. They're both considered FRPP parts but the Ford ones are better.

what about the optional 3:55s with the s197...are those ford or frpp

Motive makes the aftermarket Ford Racing gears, but not the stockers... Those aren't ford brand gears... Ford part numbers will be stamped in them if they are genuine ford parts, that typically start with "f*****"... Those might be a ford motorsport gear, but not oem ford

My 3:73's have the Ford emblem stamped in them. So am assuming they are FRPP's

RE: What brand gears are these?
I coulda sworn my FRPP 4.10's had "FORD" stamped somewhere on them. My installer requested that I get Ford Racing, otherwise I would have got Motive because of the price difference. I know he has put Motives in other cars for people...there must be a reason he prefers FRPP. He too has a 9 second 94 GT and owns the local Mustang Website
The relationship between Motive and FRPP has been talked about on here before, I think it was decided that some of the FRPP gear sets were Motive, some weren't. There was two different designs of packaging that could be used to tell the difference.

there are 2 different frpp gear sets too... one set will have a pic of a ring gear on the box and have stamped numbers, the other has a red 94-98 car on the front and has the ford symbol scratched on the gear...
