Re: Rear Gears
US Gear. I use to use Richmond and on an average had to changed them after 100 runs (joy of a stick). I then put in the US gear and are pushing 200 runs and are still quiet.

Re: Rear Gears
I found using GL6 lube extended the life of the gears much longer than the GL5 lube. Mark Williams sells it. Also tried the REM treatment and that’s what is in my car now. Quiet and not making any noise.

Re: Rear Gears
if you are so determined to find GL-6 rated lubes do a little internet research they have not made it for years but some of the lubes are rated as Gl-6 the equipment that can test GL-6 is not even made or in service anymore-- several companies offer GL-6 rated lubes -- it is not the end all cure all of gear problems especially if your are looking for a TENTH or do not want to do maintenance or have wanted 500 run ever lasting ring & pinions -- it is merely quite possibly a performance enhancer but its lube and its not going to guarantee you are going to win races--do some research its not the magic potion everybody is looking for but it can maybe keep you stuff together longer--FED 387

Re: Rear Gears
We use Motive performance gears Ford 9" going 4.80-90's 142 in Florida on 275 radials 2900 3000 pds, one teen sixty foot. It's not a pro gear, not a street gear either, but a performance gear. I have one in my Nova as well, N/A sbc 3200 pds 1.27 60ft 10 x 28. For a future option for consideration, we've been impressed with them so far. Reasonably priced as well.

Re: Rear Gears
Mike, I have a set of 9' ford 6.33 from them that have lasted. Most guys using 6.33 don't get good life from them. Small pinion tooth count is murder. IMHO Motive Gear has pretty good products.
