I just purchased some Motive performance 3.90 gears and am looking for a good installer in the San Diego area, I hear these tend to whine if not installed correctly, so looking for the best its for a 06 Saleen S/C. thanks in advance....... Rob

Some guys have problems with Motive gears and some don't have problems...

Nobody has problems with Ford gears!!!

From what I hear, the gears are pretty much exactly the same. It's not the gear that whines, just the installer didn't do a good job.

...as long as the tolerances are within spec and they use friction modifier you should be good.
