Default gears

does it really matter what brand of gear you buy or can you go to ebay and just get one off there no worries???

like nearly everything else in life, you get what you pay for. If you get cheaper eBay gears, you could end up with problems down the road (like reliability and whining.) Everyone (including myself) seems to like Ford Racing gears.

yeah, well kinda. some of the less known companies have been know for there gears whineing(sp? lol).

anyways. the best gears to buy for your car are the FRPP gears. also get the FRPP install kit and the trac-loc rebuild kit is a good idea too since the diff will be out anyways.

As far as how loud the whine can be, it depends on two things:

1) the gears you buy

2) how good they did installing them

Ford Racing Gears are the only ones I'd buy despite some claims that motive gears are also made by ford, spend the money, install once and have a piece of mind.
