iam looking to get 373 gears for my 00 camaro, are richmond gears good to go with? how many here have richmond? any comments on these gears? also who has the best price for 373 gears?

I have used Richmond gears in many cars without problems. Of course a bad setup will shorten the life of any gearset.

On another note, being a drivetrain question, it belongs in that forum. Moving there now.

Thanks.

I have had my Richmond 4.10s for 4 yrs now, no problems at all.

 

If you do a search most people will tell you to stay away from Richmonds because of the gear whine. Although I never researched it, the gears may whine based on the cut of the teeth and nickel content of the metal.

I purchased a set of Richmonds (3.42, 2 series) and had them installed by a reputable installer. They do whine, but not overly intrusive

I bought mine from CMotorsports and at they time they had the best price for both the gears and the install package.

I have used a number of sets in different cars over the years. No problems with them. It is very difficult to set up a rear end to be as quiet as a factory rear, no matter what gears you use.

yeah, they set mine up twice, now the whine is only between 50-60 mph in 6th. other than that, no whine. unfortunately with the narrow "freeways" and slow-*** drivers here, that means i'm listening to it often.

 

Yep, little noise hear too with there 4.10`s

 

Going on 3years with my Richmond 3.73s and no probs at all and they are pretty quiet with the Royal purple gear lube.

 

gm gears are much stronger than the richmonds
