Hi there, I'm pretty new to this forum and this is actually my first post.</P>


I am looking into getting 4.10 gears for my Mustang. It's a 2003 manual with an intake and exhaust pretty much. I am going with 4.10s because acceleration is more important than highway driving to me...</P>


I have a couple of questions though?</P>


First: Am I looking for an 8.8"</P>


Second: What is a Bearing Set, do I need it, and if I do where can I find one?</P>


Third: Anyone have any reviews about 4.10s? Will my speedometer appear faster or slower than original?</P>


I appreciate your time and your help!</P>

 

you will need a speed cal box from dallas mustang $100.00 1-800 mus tang..will set to any gears..i had 4.10s in my 99 cobra ,,took out ,hated them on highway ,,if you stay in town you will be okay..just dont go on a 1200 mile trip..you won;t like them

 

I was thinking of usinga superchip microtuner to correct for the speed. This runs around $300 and gives you a little more horsepower, changes to the top speed, temperature the cooling fan comes on, yadayaha...But I can't afford it just yet so I was thinking of living with the incorrect speedometer for a while as long as that's the only thing it will affect...I will probably put miles on faster than original won't I???</P>


Anyway, did you get a bearing set with yours hotrodman? Or did you just simply buy the gears (ring and pinion) and take them into a shop and have them installed?</P>

 

Save up, &amp; get a custom dyno tuned chip. It will recalibrate everything, &amp; u'll pull a few more ponies w/it too.

 

bearin kit is recommended for older cars or cars with higher mileage</P>


mustangtuning.com has 4.10's for $124 and buyfordracing.com has 3.73's for 129</P>

GOT THE GEARS! I actually went to mustangtuning.com for it as well, thanks for the advice. You saved me 40 bucks!</P>


I'm pretty excited cause I hear these pull so well...can't wait!</P>

What would I do with 1st gear?...or that matter 2nd too???<IMG src=smileys/smiley29.gif border="0"></P>

 

man you will be side ways thats too much if you dont go out of town and don't care about gas mileage get 4.56s thats what you want..you got od and you not going to go over 120 mph get them

 

</P>


I need to ask...is there anything else I need to buy with these? Or can I just take the $124 gears from mustangtuning.com straight to someone and have it installed? I don't have a high mile or older car...</P>
