[QUOTE="GForceJunkie, post: 7527969, member: 74242"] Thanks Cassidy. Your car looks familiar, did I see you at Summit Point in May '05? The rear gears were put in with a new seal at the Ford dealership where the guy that I bought the car from works only about 3,000 miles ago. I think the pinion flange has a groove worn in it. I ran the numbers on a gear calculator. [url]http://www.corral.net/tech/gearcalc.html[/url] I think the 4.10 will be a little steep, I'd rather not have to use 5th gear, and down shifting to 3rd at 60+ would be a little too hairy,(for me anyway), even with good rpm matching. That being said, to replace the pinion flange I would have to pull the differential to get the pinion bearing preload right with a new crush collar. At that point I might as well do a gear swap. I'm running Stop-Tech SS lines and Hawk Blues, Love how they bite and have not faded once. My first event I melted both front and rear stock pads, I think i'm using the brakes more efficiently now,(harder for less time) Thanks . [/QUOTE]
