Thread on MOTIVE GEARS! SHARE INPUT

[savegoodautonfg]

I want some input on motive gears because on ebay BRENSPEED is selling motive gears, master bearing kit and the axle bearings and seals for like $230.00 shipped. seems like a real good price.

But for the extra money should i just go with the Ford Racing ones?

let me have as much input as possible.. share your opinions please.

thanks.

I'm going to buy the same kit. I have Motive gears in my Lightning and in my Cobra. They're fine. Unlike the FMS gears they need a little shimming- no big deal.

what you mean they need a little shimming?

A possible word to the wise. A rumor from a good source suggested that if your new Ford gears end with an M at the end of the part #, they indeed are made by Motive.

Hissin i dont understand what you just said..

what does shimming mean. and what did you mean by waht you said.

my motive gears were defective and had to be sanded to finally make them work.. long story..

there quiet though, and work fine now... Install was a B#$#

i have motive 4.10s and have no complaints at all...they were cheaper than fms. I got them from mustangtuning.com

i have had motive gears in my car for 2 years. good price and they seem to be doing the trick

I had motive 4:10's in my 98 that were loud as hell and after checking everything 10 times (really) to make sure it was setup right I ripped em out and replaced them with ffrp gears and had no more noise.
