How do you like 3.73's.....

JDN2424 · 07-08-2002

I should have asked this before I bought them, but how does everyone like them? I just bought a set.

i believe they are the best overall gear you can get. my engine rpms are around 2100 at 60 mph and i get 23 mpg(thats with a 5-speed though), yet they gave me a huge difference in acceleration.

you didnt say what tranny type you have, but they are a good gear either way.

I love mine, one of the best mods I have ever done.

I Put 3.73 gears in my 95 and 89. This is the best bang for the buck. The change in performance is worth every dollar.

Not to sound like a broken record, I love them-Best bang for the buck hands down!!

wish that I had them, insted, 5 years ago, I went with what everyone thought was the hot gear at the time, 3.55's.

gears are 1 of the first mods that should be made when doing a 'Stang.

Just got back from shop, 373 install. Bone stock 2000 GT auto. So far I love em! I thought they might make car a little hairy from dead stop but car still needs a boot in the ass until about 2500 rpm then, look out, a nice steady pull that sucks you back into seat! Factory Goodyears on car and they are holding on not too bad. Can smoke em up with a brake burn but small amount of tire squeal from idle. Hopefully next mods help her outa the hole cause like I said...no problems once she gets rolling. My time slips will tell me if it was worth it but my "seat of the pants" says a good choice.

Love mine. Woke up my heavy 95(came with 2.73's).

OldHorse,
What brand gears did you get? How much? How much for the shop to install them?

Old Horse · 09-15-2002

I used FRPP gear kit,everything needed to do the job,crown, pinion, crush sleave, bearings, pinion nut, and shims. Also Mobil 1 synthetic lube all in Kit....$349.99 Canadian. The install was done by excellent mech. for $350.00 Canadian. My American cousins should be able to do a little better. We pay a premium up here in "The Great White North". Don't look for cheap install. I visited 4 shops before I picked one. Look for people who know what they are talking about. My gears are smooth and quiet. No bangs ,clangs or wines! PS, the longer I drive em...the more I love em. Really a sweet street gear!!

I see your GT with the auto still responds lethargic off the line with the 373s. I want to put gears in my 02 GT with an auto trans. Am I better off going to 4.10s or 3.90s. I want the car to rip off the line but I drive this everyday on the interstate. What is best?

hmarv347 · 10-03-2002

3:73's for 5 speeds and 4:10's for the automatics unless you are looking into SC later. This has been the recommendations through outt the many gearing topics on this forum.
