M10 with 3.73 diff?

[matt0300]

Wait didn't Urs come with 2 3.91 lsd dif...... oh wait lol

I have to agree, the m10 doesn't have enough punch to break free, and maintain a slide in 3rd. For those of you that have moved to lower gearing (3.64/3.73) what are your RPM's like at 75mph?

right at about 3000 with a 3.73.

You cant slide a M10 in 3rd even with a 4.27 LSD.
Noway.Even on really fucked up roads its close to impossible.
2nd gear is ok though.

I searched and found a lot of nothing..

Will an M10 feel really slow with a 3.73 LSD? I have a 3.91 open and I am wondering if I should swap them. Is the 3.73 too low?

personally i feel that mine feels slow with a 3.64... I find myself shifting constantly just to drive normally. are you tracking your car? If you are looking for any type of top speed i would look towards a 3.25.

I just picked up a 2.93 lsd just to see what it would feel like on a 95% stock motor. i'll post results as soon as it's done.

good luck.

it's not going to make that much of a difference. you won't be able to get sideways in anything higher than 2nd gear unless you have some serious weight transfer or the course is wet. I seriously doubt that even with a 4.10 that you'd be able to slide in 3rd.

I drift with a factory S3.73.

I'm sure if you're drifting with an M10 you already know about the weight transfer...

yup weight transfer with clutch kicking

i use mine for drifting so i want shorter gears

i have a weldid 3.9 and the gears feel to long im trying to get a 4.1. but i think 3.7 would b to slow unless u want top end speed

It isn't much slower. I actually prefer the 3.73 over the 3.91. The car is still slow either way and it's better on the highway.

I am using the 3.73 as well in my car. LSD is worth the upgrade.

[Jean]

it's a simple swap. i've used s3.73 with m10 for a while before the swap.

define "slow"? lol

Due to its relativity, tt is pretty hard to express that.. lol

I guess, I meant is it a HUGE difference going from a 3:91 to a 3:73?

What I am getting from this thread is that is isn't and that putting a 3.73 in a M10 isn't a no no..


Thanks guys, 3.73 LSD it is!

I have a 3.73 in mine from the stock 3.64 open. not much of a difference anyway. I'd rather be able to slide.

[crazyman]

I've got a 3.93 LSD in mine with the M10 and it's not under power that ratio either, I love it. I wish it had better excel but then I wouldn't get as good of mpg that I do now.
