I've always heard Motive/USGear are the quietest out there. FWIW

They are good gears.
But, any 7.5 3.73 can break easily, especially behind a modded car with stickier tires.

I've got Motive 4.10s in my car, and they're relatively quiet for a set of 4.10s. Haven't broken yet, and I don't baby the car.

Motive makes a good gear, but keep in mind that any gear in the 10 bolt can break. The reason is that their overall size is so small. I saw a guy who had a brand new set of Richmond gears strip the teeth off the gears on his 1st pass at the track. Richmond makes strong gears, it was just his luck. Bob

I've used Motive's before with no problems.

Motive makes 2 different lines of gears. The ones in the blue box are the street gears, which nearly always whine. They are junk.
However, the Motives in the orange box are Motive performance gears and, as far as aftermarket brands go, are the best you can buy.

However, in my opinion, the oem GM gears (made by AAM) are the best. They set up easier, and never whine. They are just hard to get since there is only 1 AAM dealer per state, and some states don't have any.

I was just over on the ws6 site and saw that Motive makes 3.90's for the 10 bolt. I was under the impression that no one made 3.90's for the 10inch

I know they make um for the 10 bolt, but thats only 7.5" is that what you are reffering to?

What is the part number on the box? If it is G875373 then those are the Motive performance gears, but if they have an 8 digit GM number they are OEM gears in a Motive box. When they buy the GM gears they are shipped bulk and unpackaged so they put them in their own boxes (sometimes in a plain whote box by the resellers request). Either way they are good gears.

so when i buy my gears from thunder racing what boxes could my motives come in?

therobman

iTrader: (39)

yea i just checked the # on the box its G875373 as u said now it that the right size and everything to fit a stock rear? cause im goin monday to another guy to have them put in i cant have them sit in my garage im dieing. and another question going from 3.23 to 3.73 in an automatic will u feel it?

mzoomora

iTrader: (36)

Yep, those are the right ones. You should feel a difference in response and pick up a couple of tenths.

I felt a good difference in my LT1 T/A going from 3.23 to 3.73.
As far as Motive goes, ive had motive 4.10s in my camaro for about 6 months now, they are a little whiny, but they are still holding up. Dont expect them to last much longer with the cam. thats why a 12-bolt is in the near future.

They better be good gears, just ordered a set from the WS6 Store. I am friends with Mike over there and he said he broke his Richmond gears in his TA, and the Motives held up good. Great bunch of guys over there!!

I have the Motive 3.90s bought from the WS6store PN MTG-G875390 and should have them installed soon. I'm going from 3.42s. I've also heard that Motive has less whine so that helped with my decission.
