lol, there's more to it than that.Originally posted by 4.6coupe View PostThats what i thought. Every little bit helps though.
Polishing bit, compound, and a dremel?!
Yes and no. Yes the gears will wear to each other, but not to the degree you're thinking of.Originally posted by 4.6coupe View PostWouldn't gears installed do this naturally over time?!

]We polish all the rearend gears on the Legand cars. Ring and pinion. We are looking for every ounce of ponies we can get as they are low hoursepower racing.
That said its RACING only. Left turns only. We get a high speed,big buffing wheel, rouge and plan to get, ah, messy. Wear goggles. Lots of hours. When I say polish they look like chrome, mirror finish. I think it helps keep the temps down and the rear end feels smoother.
For the street I don't think the polish would last long enough.
We have to repolish pretty often as the gears wear.
Just my 2 cents.
