Anybody actually run 4.10 with mt82?

[cbass]

I searched, and all I found was people screaming to use search when somebody would ask what gear ratio to buy in tech.

Has anybody actually ran 4.10's with an mt-82 car? I already know I'll cross the traps in 5th, and I'm strangely okay with that. I'm more concerned with day to day living. I normally drive around 70mph, which is around 1900rpm. It'd be about 2300-2400ish after? That doesn't sound unlivable.

I have a TR6060 with a 4.10 in my car. Right around 2300 @ 70 mph with no issues.

So WTF does that have to do with the MT82?

The MT82 is geared way lower than any transmission I've ever owned or driven before with the possible exception of the Allison MD3060 in my bucket truck. I have 3.55 gears in my car and it is geared insanely low IMO. I'm in 4th or 5th gear driving in urban traffic 40-50mph. It is geared way lower than my Bullitt T3650 or T56 Magnum with 3.73 gears, and would be lower than the T3650 or T56 Magnum with 4.10 gears.

I think if you put 4.10 gears in your car you'd end up hating it. You would be starting out from stop signs in 3rd gear. I already start out in 2nd half the time with mine.

The guy my tuner referred me to swears I'd like the 4.10 more than the 3.73. I'm wondering if he is thinking about a 3v or 2v car.

I exported some calculations to an excel file on it.

That's fucking hideous in the doc viewer. Download and open in excel for it to be usable.

How the fuck is that revelant?

 

[skwerl]

Are you going to run 38" tall tires? Otherwise it's not going to work very well.

I know of one guy that thought 4.56's were a good choice for the MT82 lol.

That's nuts! I feel like i'm constantly having to shift with my MT82 and 3.31 gears. I will never go any lower for a DD.

 

[Mr. Q]

I have 3.55 gears in my car and I feel that going to the 3.73 would be ridiculous lol. I can't imagine anyone liking 4.10 for a dd. I'm with the skwerl on this one.

He has 4.10's now with his auto 6R80 and can't figure out why everyone with less gear is faster than him.

There are a few folks around here that think just because you install lower rear end gears automatically make you faster. Some of the conversations I have heard at local meets makes me cringe. I swear some Mustang owners are as bad as the ricers.

I literally couldn't imagine 4.10s with the mt82. I have 3.73s and that's way too much.

This^^^^^ 3.73's suck donkey ballz. 3.31's aren't much better. I hate the MT82.

 

[fdjizm]

4.10's on my TR3650 just fine yo

You have a 3V that makes less power than my Edge Sport and a different transmission.

I have 3:73 with 3650 and almost a 29" tire and they feel like 3:31, going to 4:10 in two weeks

I gonna tell you the same thing I told you 3 years ago. I liked the 4.56's in my '11 GT MT-82. If the OP is okay going into 5th gear at the dragstrip, then 4.10's, 4.30's, and 4.56's will all do the trick. The 4.56's didn't make my '11 GT any quicker in the 1/4 mile, but it didn't slow it down either. And, I liked it much better on the street for daily driving with the 4.56's vs the factory 3.73's that my '11 came with.

He has 4.10's now with his auto 6R80 and can't figure out why everyone with less gear is faster than him.

I KNOW you're not talking about me. My '14 GT 6R80 race weight is 3860 lbs and it runs 11.60's all day and traps in the 117-118 mph range. The vast majority of faster 6R80's with less gear are gutted, lightweight cars weighing hundreds of pounds less than my car, so their edge at the track has NOTHING to do with gear choice, and everything to do with hp to weight ratios.

Has anybody actually ran 4.10's with an mt-82 car? I already know I'll cross the traps in 5th, and I'm strangely okay with that. I'm more concerned with day to day living. I normally drive around 70mph, which is around 1900rpm. It'd be about 2300-2400ish after? That doesn't sound unlivable.

My '11 GT MT-82 was a daily driver that was quite enjoyable to drive day to day with 4.56's. I had to trap in 5th - as you've pointed out about the 4.10's - but I was okay with that, too. I ran a taller drag radial (28"), so if you're going to run something shorter, then the 4.10 (or 4.30) would be an equivalent choice.

If you're looking to be quicker in the 1/4 mile, there are better mods out there than steep gears with the MT-82 cars, but the steeper gears won't hurt your 1/4 mile times and they are very entertaining to drive on the street. I always felt the 3.73's (or 3.31/3.55's) were sluggish feeling on the street. So, get some opinions on both sides of the fence. Better yet, see if you can ride in (or drive) any MT-82's with the gears you're considering, then do what makes you happy.

 

[Mr. Q]

Your mt82 was "enjoyable" to drive with 4.56's?!?!? Jesus dude. I test drove another '15 yesterday with the 3.73's and I thought they were extremely short lmao
Seriously, the 3.55's in the mt82 are shorter than the 3.73's I had in the 3650...
For each his own I guess lmao

Time for someone to put up or shut up.
