I've got two sets..work fine for me...did a buddies 512 4000 lb car with a 4 speed a few years ago and it's still going strong..of course these cars are so loud I couldn't hear if there is any gear wine at speeds.. but the mesh pattern was good when assembled so .....

I have used them several times with great success. They all have been easy to get a good pattern on both sides of the tooth, and all have been quiet as a church mouse. Wish I could say that for some of the richmonds I've put in.

I haven't used Motive specifically, but they bought Richmond and I've been using their stuff. My differential guy, who does excellent work, uses Motive products quite a bit.

I put Motive 4.56 gears into the 9.25 axle under my Dakota when it had the big block. I didn't have any issues with them.

They better be good because Motive Gear bought out Richmond. I run there gears in my dragster with no issues.

You might be surprised how many other brands are repackaged Motive Gears.
