Basically like the title says. I am interested in peoples experiences with the quality of the Gear-X FD kits. Anything good or bad, please put it in this thread. I am considering using a Gear-X FD kit and wanted to know if there are any issues I should worry about.

p.s. The final drive kit will be used in my N/A 280hp+ street class drag car...
Slicks are 24.5x8x13 m&h. Do you think I would have any breakage issues using Gear-X in a drag application?

p.p.s. I searched with no luck.=\

 

18 views and no help? Come on people... should this be relocated to the drag racing section?

 

what ratio are you looking at?

I know with the D series, Jeff doesn't think then 4.9 from any maker will last with 400+ whp.

I need to call KIWI myself.

 

I'm looking at the 4.9 fd... My car is all motor so i don't think ii have to worry much about the 400 hp mark for a while. haha

 

i will be using the 4.9 staight cut final next season i am building the tranny now gear-x helps me out alot i will also be using thier new plate diff i will be one of the first to use it (not on market yet) i will be using the taller first from gear-x also i wouldnt use anything but gear-x

 

Good to hear. what is your car setup for? ie. road race, drag, circuit???

I recently acquired a Gear-X FD and was wondering what the quality was like.

Anyone else with input?

 

I've installed several for SCCA racing and one yet to be tested in a 10 second D setup.

 

Hmm, let me know how it goes with the D setup..

 

im using a 4.9 gearx fd in my gsr tranny been running for 2 years seen a few drags strip and auto x days but mostly daily driven in h2b setup to bad the tranny lasted longer then the engine lol
