Thats weird! I always recommend Ford gears as I rarely have to shim them, I've always had to shim the Richmond Gears...... I've also seen a couple of prematurely worn ring gears from Richmond, never had that problem with genuine Ford stuff. That sucks dude, I hope things work out for ya.

Those are new gears with different type of cut and a bevelled rear face. They have to be set up differently than the non "N" gear. Can't recall the precise changes, but I will look them up. If anyone is NOT familiar with installing "N"'s - don't do it. I think they are only available in one ratio 3:73 or 4:10 - not postive which one.

Why not just order the PROPER gears rather than recommending Richmond?

Thousands of people don't seem to have a problem. Perhaps had you got the correct gears, you wouldn't have this problem.
