When you put gears in the car will the wine through the break down period or should they be quite form the get go.

 

If they whine now, they prolly will forever... The pinion depth or the backlash isn't set correctly although a small amout of whine comes from high geared performance sets but it's not 'overly' whiny

 

Thanks for the help. I am going tho break the rear end back down tuesday and see if i can get it right.

 

It depends on what gears you have. If they are stock gears (GM) then they should be quite. If they are Richmond Gears, then they will whine cause they are cut differetly and are meant for racing, not for Grandma's Buick.

Gear whine will start around 40MPH and go from there. If you have driven more than like 20 miles, then changine the tooth pattern now will make them whine more.

I've got all the specs and data on the Saginaw (New Venture) rear ends, but they aren't specifically for TPI cars so I can't help you on the TPI board.

(Got the idea?)

Allmost eveyone I know that has not used GM original gears has whine. Even some Mudstains have them to.
