axles and gears

[ls7gto]

I decided to put a spool in the GTO, as of now it has strange 35 spine S/T axles
in it. taking the 4.11s out and putting 3.73 or 3.54s in . So what is everybody using for axles, street or race , and street or race gears. ( looking at race gears if I can find the correct ratio for my Dana 60)

What about synthetic lubes? Oil, gear lubes.

I run a moser 35 spline axle with 3.91 gears and synthetic lube. Its all old and been in there over 14 years(not the lube). My car is an 11.40 car with an automatic so its not like its hard on rear axle parts.

I have been using synthetic in the axles in my jeep for awhile now, the lockers noticeably work smoother so i went ahead and put some in the car. I buy the cheapest synthetic possible for the jeep because it ends up with water in the fluid eventually.

I use Richmond street gears and moser 35 spline axles. They told me to stay away from the race gears if your putting a lot of mileage on the gear set. And I abuse my rears. 3880 pounds going low 1.30 high 1.20 60 foots. And I use 80/140 standard gear oil.

I use Royal Purple and street gears and used E-Bay Nascar gears

Moser 35 spline (12 bolt), street gears, and I think Redline grease, but I am not sure... freaking alzhiemers...

35 spline Strange S/T axles with a locker, Lucas 80-140 synthetic, no issues five Drag Weeks and lots of other stuff. But only 1.40-1.50 60 fts. at 4120 lbs.

I run Richmond gears in the race car with 35 Strange axles with a spool..
that car does a 1.19 60' and the axle have about a 1/2 twist of the splines
they been that way since a few weeks of new.. the Rampage has Dutchman
axles with 4.10 gears... no testing yet so I dont know the 60'

I'm not a power house at 450hp but do have 31 spline Moser axles with 3.89 motive gear and Detroit True trac posi

[AdvAutoBob]

35 spline Mosers with spool and Motive 3.70 "good" street gears (they have two different grades of street gears, go figure), using Royal Purple synthetic lube.

(nice runon sentence!)

Learn from what I learn. LOL

I had grease pouring out my axles this week. Last week did a road test in the heat. Pulled the MW axles that are gun drilled. They had plastic plugs in them. Guess what the grease got hot enough that the plugs fell out. They are all drawn up and will not stay in. Could not find a 7/8 core plug. So I made aluminum plugs and glued them in.

Interesting, not something I would have thought of. Thats why you test!
