3.73s for manual 4.10's for auto. gears arent too expensive, if you install them yourself youll save about $100 bucks though. dont ever buy used gears btw. if you dont put them back in the pattern they were in they will whine like high hell.
Im looking into gears. So should i go for 3.73 or 3.55. Ive got an 89 gt, 5-speed. Does anyone know about how much it would cost too?
i have a 91 gt with a 5 speed...about 3 years ago i got 3.73 gears and of course it was better than stocks lil 3.08, but my car still didnt have the takeoff i still wanted. Now I am looking into either 4.10s or 4.30s. Make sure you research the gears, and i would either take them to ford to have them install them, or another equally qualified technician. Just make sure you are happy with them. I would get a friend that has 373 and another with 355 and ask to drive their car (you never know it might happen) and then use your own judgement.
