I'm sure there are plenty of posts on this, but I'm asking. I am debating switching my 7.5 10 bolt to a 4.10 gear. Please list comments about noise, wheel spin. Increased shifting? Car is a summer cruiser that I like to open up every now and then, no drag racing. Occasional hot shot stuff. Rear end is apart now to replace bad bearings. Was going to buy motive gear and kit from summit

M6 also by the way

Most guys go 4.10's w/ a 6spd unless fuel usage is a concern and Motives are about the best around.

Fuel is not a big concern. Main concern is the noise level. I hear some that whine pretty bad. I know it's in the set up. Which I am doing myself.

I have 4.10's with the T56 and have no whining or any of that

buckeyebird

What about wheel spin. I assume you have to be a little easier on the gas when getting on it

What are your mods?

Motives aren't noisy if installed correctly, now Richmonds are another story.

buckeyebird

No serious mods. Slp intake and borla cat back

Well with my mods (in my signature) I'll spin through 1st, but that's it. Of course I'm on dr's though

With the high 1st gear in the t56 you really need 4.10's and 4.30's are good too. I know that sounds low but its not, especially with the gearing in the t56. 6th gear becomes more usable at lower speeds. I had motives and they were quiet. Cant speak for richmond. Only time I broke my rear was trying to dump the clutch on sticky tires at the track. If you know how to launch you can make the rear live at the track and still get 1.6 60' times assuming you have 4.10's or lower.

You will blow the damn tires off so if you aren't running drag radials or some wider and softer than stock tires its gonna be banging off the rev limiter all the way through first as soon as you step on it and probably second as well!

Just stock tires and rims. Only planned upgrade would be a nice set of Firestone Firehawk tires. Want to keep stock appearance.

I have 4.10's in a M6 and love them. I don't care that much about mileage as this isn't my daily, but I get about 18mpg for a mix of highway and city. I run about 2k rpm in 6th at 70mph.

You're only going to spin even worse on street tires with the 4.10s but they will be a lot more fun overall

buckeyebird

We are talking bout spinning on a hard launch right. Not so much in normal traffic right. Which I can just control with throttle input

HCI2000SS

Not so much in traffic, but from a 1st gear roll on it will light them up a bit more

And the the 1-2 shift as well

buckeyebird

Ok. But its somthing I can control.

Absolutely

This.

4.10's are a blast! Might hear them a little but nothing to worry about. You'll spin for sure from a dead stop or roll if you mash on the gas. I say go for it!3.90's are nice as well.
