had a quick question since its already on the topic what the difference on the different 4.77 gears that are made. obviously the price but is it just preference or does anybody recommend one over the other thanks

i have hardtopguy's gears and basically choose this one because it's been out for some time and failure issues don't seem to happen. Some of the other vendors have the same gear ratio and i'm not saying they're of any less value but they haven't been out longer than others. So really it's just a matter of preferance.

The question is would you buy the same part for x amount of dollars from mexico per se but not having the know the background or would you spend a lot more for the same part overseas in japan and it has info dating back to some time?

I plan on keeping this set of gears as long as I can so i went with a reputable vendor.

thanks for the feedback it really was just between the ones from hardtopguy or ricks but i think i made my decision thanks

if i'm not mistaken i thought ricks supplied htg with the same gears? I could be wrong though.

hey, just out of curiousity....

S2000 stock gear is: 4.10 ?

So if you have a 4.57 gear, that is going to be faster than stock but in 6th gear cruising speed, I find my RPM at 80 mph is 5000 rpm

So if you have 4.77 gear, will the 6th gear cruising rpm be even higher?


The reason I ask is that I find 5000 rpm for long trips is kinda loud already - sure it's nice not having to downshift but I want it quiet for long trips. Just wondering how you guys stand the noise with a 4.77 gear?

I'd love to hear comments on this one


thanks
rick

i don't take long trips well i'll find out next year when i drive my car to the track this question is interesting but my car is quiet no intake headers or exhaust just a test pipe so it doesn't bother me

[QUOTE]i love them, i don't daily drive but getting anywhere requires me to take the freeway. That being said i'm guessing you mean 65-70mph what rpm's it's at?? well if that's what you mean you're looking at 4500 rpm at those speeds. You're looking at 5,500 rpm at 80mph
