4.10 gears...Any opionions?????

[SilverMuscle]

I have a 92 GT...AUTO with 15" DR's
Have upper/lower intake with 1.7 rockers/70mm TB

I only do back road driving, and barely any highway driving, unless I run to the store.

Are the 4.10's worth it. Never had them to exp. Will it be good for track use as well? Don't want the car to trap at 80mph at the track.

I have 4.10's and I love them! First gear is basically worthless though. As far as highway driving...my car runs about 2500 rpm's around 65mph. So its not horrible. For the track, you'd be fine. should be crossin the line at the top of 4th gear.

Thanks for the reponse...What do you trap at MPH at the trck?

They should work pretty well with your combo, and be much more streetable with the AOD than stock.

I have 4.10s but with a blower and a dss331. i rather have 3.73's now

 

[skunk21]

4:10's seem to be a great combo for the atx cars due to the gear ratio in the atx and the 3:73's, 3:55's are a good combo for the 5spd cars for the street. do you know anyone with this combo or involved in a mustang club that you could test drive or go for a ride to get a feel for this type of gearing? This what I did before going to my 3:73's. best of luck and post your results.

Ive got 4.10's and an AOD and theyre not bad at all, even on the highway.

 

[87foxstang]

go with the 4.10's their awesome

I have 4.10's and a c4, and for a toy and track use, I love them. I don't drive the car more than 5 miles at a time, so I don't care about street manners. They really help in the acceleration dept!

I think with an aod, they would be very streetable.

 

[5spd GT]

Since you do not drive on the highway that much, the 4.10:1's are just fine

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Absolutley. If you have stock 2.73's or 3.08's a 4.10 is going to be a huge difference, you will power out of those corners on them back roads in no time!!

If your making any sort of good numbers on power, poppin an AoD into 4th gear at WOT is askin for MAJOR trouble. I have one myself w/ 4.10s and am seriously thinking about just getting my HP up enough to spin the hell outta a set of 3.08s I have set aside.

 

[cenok is family]

go for it man, i like em a lot with my 5 speed, 1st is absolutely worthless though. i'd imagine they'd fit nicely with an aod though.

 

[Mendez33]

I say go for it too! I only say that because you are running an automatic trans. Don't fear the gear!

 

[SilverMuscle]

Thanks guys for all your input...I brainstormed of what my plan is going to be and 4.10's it is.

Do not shift the AOD on 4th gear full throttle unless you want it rebuilt sooner. When I race my car in the 1/4 mile even with 4.10s I just go up to 3rd gear.

so whats stock ratio 273 or 308?

 

[Fox8950]

Think stock was 2.73 mostly but was an option to get 3.08s? not quite sure on that though never bought one new

3.27 was the optional ratio for automatics, at least thats what the gears i took out of mine were stamped with. made a huge difference when i swapped in the 4.10's, it just sucks not having a good tire that can actually keep up.
