ok guys, i know this question has been posted before, but i got another view on it.

i have a 07 gt, basically stock. nothing more than a tune, and steeda UD pullies. I ordered a cold air, hopefully it will be here this week. My car is auto, 3:31 gears, and its a pig outta the hole. If I launch to hard it will either spin, or not hard enough it will bog, and it takes alot to get the 3600lb car to move. I've always put my own gears in, i was taught how, and i always use FMS gears. I dunno how much of a difference a 3:73 would make in a auto car, so i want to do a 4:10. I would try the 3:90 out, but FMS doesn't make one.
So heres my question, i've heard if you put 4:10's in a DD, since your driveshaft spins faster, it will throw it outta balance after a while. I'm not sure if this is true or not, i've never had a set of 4:10's. MM&FF just put a 4:10 in their project MILF and it only raised the rpm's up 500RPMS. they said 60mph went from 1,750 to 2,250. I can live with that, i drive about 70 miles a day all highway doing 70+. The car won't be my DD for that long, probably another 6-7 months or so. Do you guys think a 4:10 will be ok? I want to do a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft, but thats another $600 i gotta save up!

thanks guys for all the help!

Gears will not affect the driveshaft at all. Make sure you use Ford Racing gears. Don't attempt to purchase a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft for an automatic '05-up stang......it will vibrate badly and nobody seems to know why yet. Most places won't even sell you one if it's for an auto car because they know you'll just ship it back to them. I know a guy here on stangnet that went through 3 driveshafts. They all vibrated badly. I swapped his tranny out to a manual and used one of the driveshafts which did not vibrate at all after the swap.

By the way, the autos love 4.10's.

I thought it was the 5 speed that went well with the 4.10 gear?

i have an 06 with 410 gears, CAI, UDP and tune. The 410 gears go very well with my auto tranny. It's not my DD. My MPG went from 22.5 to 18.5 with the gears.

I just got it supercharged this past week and I still love the 410 gears.

4.10s are nice. Helped me gain 5 MPH in the 1/4 so far with my supporting mods. I lost 2-3 MPH on the highway, but I wouldn't have bought a Mustang if I cared that much about gas mileage.

Go for it 91frppgt!!!!! If not your DD for long perhaps some 4.30s for it? I might try it if/when mine stops being a DD. I drive it 62 miles round trip to work with no problems at all. Gas mileage after all my mods is within 1 MPG of stock.

You won't regret it. My car was an auto and I had the 4.10's in at the time. Figure on the revs being just under 3k at 80 mph.

Even with O/D off it is still right around 4K @ 80 which is VERY peppy!!!!! Definitely "point and shoot" when you romp on the gas from that point.
