Question What's diff about Motive & Motive perf?

Does anyone know the difference between the two? Their site doesn't say ****, are they worth the extra $50 or so?

Motive Performance are a Much better gear, Made in Italy and the metal used is much better and heat treated to a more stingant standard.

I have herd the regular Motives are made in China.

This is what Motive has to say



"The Motive Gear Stock Performance is an excellent high quality light duty O.E. quality replacement ring and pinion. It has 8620 steel, CNC throughout and computer controlled heat treatment. Many installers have reported that this ring and pinion series seems beefier and quieter than OE gears. An excellent choice for both on and off road applications. These gears are found in everyday automobiles, trucks and vans. These gears are tough enough for UROC racers like Craig Stumph and Bart Jacobson.

Motive Gear Performance High Performance Series has more features built into it on top of the 8620 steel, CNC throughout and computer controlled heat treatment as the Stock Performance series. They are also double lapped, have index tooth spacing and central contact patterning. This High Performance Series comes in a huge range of ratios. These gears are used in stock car racing, drag racing, the toughest off road racing, sports cars, muscle cars, trucks and everyday automobiles when the driver demands the highest quality and performance."

Most Motive gears are made in Italy. The ones that are not are made in India.

I know on my Motive 4.10 for my 10-bolt the difference between the standard motive gear, and the Motive performance was this:

the standard gear used the 37T ring and 9T pinion

the "performance" gear uses a 41T ring and a 10T pinion

essentially making the pinion stronger by having an extra tooth, as well as more contact area with the ring.

that alone is good enough to me for buying the performance gear. anything to make a 10-bolt last longer.
