any links to what a gear whine sounds like?

Why do you think you have it?

It kind of sounds like if you have ever wet your finger and run it around the edge of a wine glass to get it to make noise. Thats really the best example I can think of.

no, i have stock gears. but plan to change to some 4.10 or 4.30 or 4.56's

Good example. thanks

I had/have motives on my 94 GT and on my 03 GT and they both acted the same when i first got them installed. They wined a tiny bit during deceleration for about 500 miles and then the sound went away. Never had a problem with them since then.

Mine only whine at 66-72 mph cruising and slightly under decel but the deceleration whine is nothing compared to the cruising whine and other ridiculous amounts of road nose.

LOL, I don't have all ball joints instead of busings on my car.



Ride comfort is for the weak.

Gears only whine when you let a retard install them no matter what brand the gears are. I have motive 4.10s and no whine. My buddy has FRPP 3.73 and they whine like crazy. Its all in who installs them. And yes motive does make the FRPP gears.

i've heard of richmond gears, where do they rank among mustangs?

I think, they are about as bad as they can get. I had a set of Motive gears in my v6 with no whine or noise at all. I had the same installer install both sets and the Richmond gears whined so I took my car back to him and he actually disassembled it and reassembled it replaced the shims and checked the pinion depth and backlash, free of charge, which really impressed me. But they still whine.

Maybe on any other car you wouldn't notice it but I think there is like some kind of resonance or something through my car that would normally be absorbed by the bushings.
