I am looking to buy a Richmond 3.90 ratio ring and pinion gear set. BUT, I keep reading that even with proper installation, the Richmond ring & pinions are known to whine quite noticeably in comparison to other gear sets. What I am trying to find out is an idea of just HOW LOUD this whine is.
Worth mentioning is that I ABSOLUTELY do not care about driving a loud vehicle whether it be exhaust or gear whine. Loud if fine with me. BUT, I am starting to get the impression that the whine is intolerable with Richmond ring and pinion sets. Does anyone have any input/opinions/feedback on them from personal experiences?
Now to nip it in the bud before it happens --- I am NOT INTERESTED in 3.73 or 4.10 gears. I am interested in a 3.90 Richmond gear ratio ONLY. I am NOT interested in Motive gears either. I have decided on Richmond 3.90 gears without exception.
So PLEASE keep this ON-TOPIC and chime in only if you HAVE EXPERIENCE driving in a Mustang having specifically Richmond 3.90 gears in it.
I ONLY wish to hear feedback on Richmond 3.90 gears. ONLY Richmond 3.90 gears.
Thank you!!
Edit, changed 3.89 to 3.90. (Thought richmond made 3.89 instead of 3.90).
