Motive and Strange gears are good.
Richmonds whined in every car I've driven, including mine. There are a few other manufacturers, but Motive is what I would recommend.

Why 4.10 on a A4? If this is your daily driver it will drive you crazy on the hi-way. 4.10 would be better on a M6 car. Alot of board members use 3.73 or even 3.42 on a A4 car that are there daily driver. Also go with GM gears which you can find in the 4 sale section, or even ebay.

Yes, I would recommend 3.73s in an automatic as well. (I have 4.10s in mine but it's not a daily driver)

There are no "GM" 4.10 gears available for our cars. It's sold under the Motive brand.

Re: WHat kind of gears

I have Richmond gears and was wondering why they are so noisy. I have been told they are stonger than Motive. Is that true? I do not mind the noise if it comes with added strength.
