Where can I get 3.73's for cheap?

MineralGray02K · 09-04-2002, 07:15 PM

Cheap and not crappy for my 2002 GT 5 speed? That is definatly my next swap because today I drove a 12 second stang with 3.73's and it was nuts. I need them! Basically point me in the right direction of gears, and that speedo fixing thing, and whatever else I need. Then I'll buy them, and have a mechanic friend of mine put them on for free. How many hours of labor does it usually take? Thanks a lot.

Go with 4.10's, NO DOUBT!! I have them in my 02 GT 5 speed(daily driver, highway driven) and I love them. Dont waste your money on 3.73's, they will put you BELOW your powerband. Best price for FRPP gears are from gefracing.com

Damn, I've heard that 4.10's with a 5 speed don't go well...I hear 3.73's are the best. I drive 80 miles a day on the highway and town roads. Everybody seems to think that 3.73's are the way to go. What are you rpm's like at around 80 mph with the 4.10's?

I think for the 99+ mustangs you have to get a speedo calibrator. An electronic thing...there's no gear on the tranny for the newer models. Get 4.10's, too. The newer intakes made the 99+ power bands much higher in the rpm range. For 98's and lower, 3.73 is good...but I would put 4.10's on.

Oh ya, don't forget the overhaul kit. Gefracing doesn't give shims w/ their ring and pinion (I got mine from them), and you're gonna need to replace the axle bearings, too (unless you're a damn good mechanic). It won't hurt rebuilding it all, and I got my kit from summit racing. It was $78, which is more than gefracing, but they didn't charge me for shipping.
