I have a 94 AOD-E, and am looking into geting gears. I have an appt to get my transmission overhauled and a shift kit installed, im going to do gears as well but am stuck in between 3.55 or 3.73. This is my daily driverbut i want to be able to romp every once in a while. Which would be a better gear ratio for a daily driver stang? My appt. is fri so any advice would much appreciated!!!

i have 410s i went from 327s in my aod 88 5.0 what a big difference. you can still run on the highway i did. with a modified valve body. i ran a top speed of 130 with valve flooting

I would but in a stall convertor and a new rear main seal while it's out

I have a 95GT with the same AODE as your 94. I installed 3.55 gears and I couldn't be happier. It realy helped wake up the car. I would probaly not go with the 3.73 gears since it is your daily driver. And I most definetly would not go with the 4.10 gear or you will wish you hadn't. Your motor will be turning like 5 grand at 70mph and that's not good.

Thanx alot guys, that helped alot, a new rear main will be good since it is allready leaking now! thanx again.

your mislead my stang cruises at 2700rpms at around 70mph so go for the higher gears you wont be disappointed!!!!!!!

Hey you, don't tell me I'm misleading..... I have 3.55 gears and my car turns about 2700 at 70mph. If I had went with the 4.10's the rpm would be significantly higer. Don't you dare tell this dude to go with the 4.10's cause he will be so disapointed. His car will only be good for doing donuts in an empty parking lot. If he has his mind set to go deeper than 3.55's he should go with the 3.73's but DEFINETLYnot the 4.10 gears. Mind your own business when you don't know what you're talking about. </P><edited><editID>jhogan2424</editID><editDate>37943.4498148148</editDate></edited>

well then since your good with gears questions what gears would be good for my 86 5.0 GT ( 5-speed)???? 3.55 or 3.73?

dude dont get your panties in a bind. i have that set up in my 88 lx aod. car. with a 3000 stall. and have the correct speedo gear. the 410s cruise at around 2700 rpms at around 70mph. you might what to check the overall diameter of the wheels and tires you running. if your running 26inch diameter tires this is the correct settings. and aods lack acceleration so the steeper gears work better. if you dont beleieve this pick up the official ford mustang 5.0 handbook. it will tell you the same. and the 410s dropped my et alot. i leave the hole with slicks at around 3000 and pull hard as hell. so dont tell me i dont know what im talking about.
