Quietest aftermarket gears for Moser 12 bolt?
I am finally fed up with the gear whine from my Moser 12 bolt. It has 4:11's. I had a shop reset the gears and they needed to be shimmed. That quieted it some,mostly on deceleration but the acceleration whine is driving me nuts! I have heard that Motives and Richmonds gears are not as noisey as Mosers. Who makes the quietest? My car is 99.9% street.

I think APE or HPE just said in another similar post that they can have Motives for a 12 bolt. Search for Motive in the sponsor section or this section. They are by far the quietest brand of gear I've had in mine. Alot has to do with the setup too like Slowhawk said. I've had 2 sets of US Gear/Strange and both were extremely hard to get a good pattern and were still noisy. The Motives were dead silent from the start.

I dropped in 5 sets of Motive 4.10s, all howled and went to **** within WEEKS.
I got fed up, called Speed Inc. to send me Richmonds instead, (and they are notorious for being louder.)
From day one, dead silence, same installer.

Personally I think any brand gear can be setup to make no noise. Now, what happens once you start doing some hard launches is another story. It seems like the 9 inches are able to stay quiet, but the 12 bolts are another story.

I run the oem gears in my mustang and never had a failure and it put down 550 at the rear tires with slicks.

Anybody have a quiet Moser 12bolt that has had some hard 6 speed launches on it?
My Moser gears were very quiet for a few hundred miles, til I started droppin the clutch at 6k. Now they make all kinds of racket mostly on decel.
