Are motive gears good?
Are motive gears good? i baught these gears and the machanic said they were garbage and would break easly is this true i herd it was a good gear btw they are motive proformace 3.73 gears for my a4
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

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.

Verdad Gallardo yea mine are in a yellow and orange box they are motive proformace gears i baught them from ws6store.com i really think they guy didint know what he was talking about so i deff plan on bringing it somewhere else thanls
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

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!!

Hey Keep me informed Im doing a build up and 3.90's would be sweet
