Motive 4.30 Gears

[crouse]

Are Motive 4.30 gears ok or should I just stick with Ford gears?

Mine were perfect until I installed the manual and threw all the onions at her one night.

On the street with street tires, clutch up and rolling in 1st I matted it and sheared all the teeth off the pinion and a quarter of them off the ring. The car made it about a foot and then the sound of carnage followed and finally the feel of neutral kicked in..

They took all kinds of abuse with the automatic, RPMs a tad high for my liking on the highway but doable. I actually drove it all the way from Chicago to the Marauderville meet in Pennsylvania and back. Something like 11 1/2 hours each way. I still liked them even after that long haul.

I'll just stick with Ford gears. I'm 99% sure I'm going to switch to a Torsen T-2R differential, so I might as well install 4.30's. I have 4.10's now.

Last I knew Ford doesn’t make 4.30’s.
