you do realize motive makes some FRPP gears.....they are in FRPP boxes and everything
Thank you! I kept reading post after post and saying to myself "why hasn't somebody posted that ALOT of the FRPP gears are manufactured by Motive?". Just cuz you buy a FRPP product doesn't mean it's made by Ford. And I think Ford STILL gets them from Motive.
To the OP, sorry the gears were not what you expected. IMO though, the installation of gears has more impact on whether or not they'll whine, regardless of manufacturer (other than Richmond).

he knows that now but it doesnt change the fact that they will most likely whine bad. i'm sure thats why FRPP stopped outsourcing the gear manufacturing through Motive way back when.
you guys really need to stop bad mouthing motive cause your dealers couldnt install them right.... everyone i know has motives, i had em in my old camaro, i had em in the front and rear of my toyota, and i have a set for my mustang, there helical cut gears they dont whine if your installer is smarter then a monkey
OP if you paid for ford gears i would just ask them for the differeance refunded and have a reputalbe tranny/rear end shop do the install for you... there should be no problems

no bad mouthing. just giving the message from the shop that did mine. and yes, they are a VERY reputable shop. the fact is, ALMOST every motive owner says they whine. maybe the case is different on other cars but it seems to be a problem with ours. I buy "AMERICAN MADE" products whenever i can anyways and from what i understand, Motives are made in Italy. No offense to the Italianos but i'm trying to help out fellow americans.....

I did in the other THREE threads he started. No one wants to accept it. I don't know what the obsession the OP has over having "Ford" stamped all over the d**n things is all about. Lots have offered their advise, experiences, and gave him links to what he wanted. He blazed his own trail. I don't have aftermarket gears installed, not going to do it. I think the stock's ratio is just right, and I'm not going to be pulling stumps with the mustang. I agree that the issues with the motives may have been more of an installation issue, blueprinting isn't easy. It is an art, and breaking them in correctly is just as important as the installation.
i know all about the threads and links that have been given to me. i happened to come across them from rpmoutlet and it said in stock so i ordered, simple as that. but than they sent me the wrong ones on purpose. i know that a good installation will take away the whine but it was just my preference to get ford gears. evryone has their own perferences and who r we to tell them its wrong. so i called rpm and just told them to send me the difference and they are. im going to install them next week. oh and vtmustang i decided to put the pics in a new thread to get more replies and which it did.
