no adverse effects at all, so long as the elsd clutch bleed procedure is followed after install.

What will installing a 4.10 change?

- You will have 19% more torque in each gear, improved acceleration, and far more fun than with the stock 3.42 gear set.

Speeding tickets.

Lower MPG, IMO a waste for a daily driver. And for people looking for a performance advantage, competition gear sets are made from a different alloy than street gears, one wonders what these sets are manufactured from?

HECK YEAH DUDE!

Been lurking this topic since 2015... THANK YOU!!! :thumbs:

Will these happen to fit a 6th gen camaro m6?

Matthewstorm 02-11-2019 10:55 PM

What are these gear sets made from? Are they as strong or stronger than OEM?

subieworx 02-12-2019 09:11 AM

RPM generally knows their shit when it comes to gears. I wouldn't worry.

Luke C7 02-12-2019 10:17 AM

Do A8s have any options out yet?

The point being competition gear sets are not recommended for street use, and visa versa, So again what grade of steel are these made of and for what venue were they designed? Street or true competition? And as a side note these are gears for the rear differential, not the transmission as some are assuming.

Larry,

These gear sets are recommended for both street and competition use. They are stronger than the Linamar factory gears. They are manufactured in Italy, not in China or some other Asian plant. Linamar's OEM differential design is poor. Several C7 users have had spider gear failures. The fix for that is to have a WaveTrac differential installed at the same time as the new gears. In addition, most Forum users spend more time on the street than they do on any track.

Anything for the A8

Roadrogue 02-14-2019 06:10 PM

I can't think of any reason this would affect traction control or speedometer calibration etc. If not it seems like a winner and makes more sense for my needs than a supercharger which I've considered.

Rideout 02-14-2019 06:34 PM

I wonder what installation will cost?

HorsePower Junkie 02-14-2019 08:26 PM

Pumba,

Is there any ECM recalibration needed to correct the speedometer on M7 cars?
