Have you done a gear swap?
Does anybody have a set of stock 4.10 differential gears sitting around? I'd like to buy them if they're in good shape. Please PM me.

you can't re-use 4.10 gears (like if someonme put in rick's 4.57's and has their old 4.10's laying around somewhere). Because, the 4.10 ring + pinion gears have worn into each other, and when you put them in your diff, they won't mate up correctly. You can go to a mazda dealer and get 4.10's from a 94-97 miata, they are exactly the same as what the S2k uses.

As long as the original gears were set up properly to start with, you can re-use them. (never seen a stock S with an inproperly set-up Rear diff)
My car has had more miles on it's diff/gears after I re-built it with a Comptech housing than it had before.
