    Need 4.10's asap

    I am convinced to get 4.10's or even 4.11's for 02 ws6 m6. Who makes the best gears out there? Quality and quite (no whine) I've heard good things about gm oem gears but where could I get them if they're my best bet?

    Does the type of rear end I have make a difference in how the noisy the gears will be? Auburn or torsen but I'm not sure what I have.

    Please I need help asap so I can order these and get them shipped this week!!!!

    They are the quietest and most forgiving on set up.

    yes. Shims, gasket, pinion seal, carrier and pinion bearings, crush collar, and a micometer, large socket for the pinion nut, inch lb torque wrench, and ft lb torque wrench, and gear oil, marking paste.

    I did Motive 3.90's and had them installed locally. I didn't go the 4.10 route because of the tiny 9 tooth pinion gear. 3.73's aren't enough of a difference from the stock 3.42's and the 3.90's are a good compromise over the 4.10's. JMO

    Also remember you'll have to have the speedo recalibrated.

    They will be installed at a shop so I don't need the tools just the parts. Which install kit should I get that includes everything I need? Thanks for the help btw!

    Hey, I'm getting it dyno tuned right after the install of the gears and other mods. I'm just ready to go with 4.10's and not look back! Motive gm gears sound like the best bet right now...

    How many teeth does a 3.90 pinion have? Is that really going to make a difference in strength?

    You are gonna have to break in the new gears before it can go on a dyno. How about 500 miles of lets take it easybefore changing out the rear oil again? Then you can put it on a dyno and WOT to your hearts content. Skip the break in procedure or burn your gear diffs oil and you can kiss them new 4.10 goodby.
    By the way check out Yukon gears. I've been running a set on the street/strip for over 6 months and they are still quiet.

    I put Richmond 3.90 gears in my last Camaro and I ran them just like I did when I had 3.42s. Must be I was lucky?

    I would take it easy and follow the break in process as advised though. Can never be safe enough!
