Still want to join the club. If American Axle no longer builds a gear set, and the Strange gearset is for Auto only, can anyone supply a name and part number for a grear set known to fit a 6 speed SSR??

I have the Motive gear in mine but gear noise transmitted thru the drive shaft with the top up is very annoying. top down not big deal..
Flassh others do still make it. I have just heard they where not as quit. I suspect for the most part it is the setup to blame.
Jim
Set up is part of the deal. The other part is the way the gears are cut. Since Am Axle is OEM for GM they have a quieter gear cut too. I forget the exact terminology.

OK - latest after spending way too much time on the phone this morning.
It appears American Axle 4:56 gears are out of stock everywhere.
J & S confirmed that this morning. Talked to a supplier in Canada who recommended Quality Gear - don't know anything about them.
Made several calls to local shops for a recommendation on the best shop to handle the install hoping for more info. That steered me to a supplier in Washington selling Yukon Gear. He indicates he has done several installs in the northwest, but I can't find anyone on the threads mentioning they have Yukon gears on a 6 speed.
Anyone with any feedback on Yukon - it may be the best alternative at this stage.
The only info I found on a search were a comment from Art that Yukon was a good supplier, and one from AKwares running Yukon 4:56 gears on an 03 auto.
Two of the suppliers indicated the Richmond gearset wa quite noisy.
UPDATE - Just got off the phone with ANOTHER supplier - he has nothing to offer in a way of 4:56 gears, but says the Yukon gearset is not built in the US - it is a Korean gearset imported by Yukon.
This is very confusing for a novice.
This is a very difficult club to join.

Ray, another option is Strange gears. Another member seems happy with their hardware..
Latoy Now Has 411's Gears I Thought That With The Magna Charger, Headers, Free Flow Cats, And Exaust. That 411's And Greg's Help With The Serveo Would Give A Good Kick. If Not 456 Es Are Only Dollars Away. Can't Wait To Get It Back Thanks For All Your Help And Input
