If/When I swap to a V8 T5, I'll probably put in some 4.10's to make the .6:1 overdrive a little more livable...

With my mustang, i wish i had like a t-56 so i had the second overdrive

Take a second look at the overdrive ratios. The T-5 actually has a numerically lower OD.

t-56 would give me allot more strength, and i like the thought of 6 gears over the 5. That t-5 is not meant for the torque produced by that 351. You can feel it. its not gonna last very long once it starts getting driven more

4.10 Gears are awsome, I had them in all my 5.0L LX coupes.  I could do 3rd gear brake torques with ease.  Like has been said first gear doesn't last long though, but if you have sticky drag tires, you can pull the tires off the ground at the track, with minimal mods. ;)  at least in a Stang you can.

Okay, now for install.  I have never took trac-lok apart.  Is it difficult to place 4.10's in my mercury?

You sure?

t56's as put in Camaros and Firebirds had a .5:1 sixth gear (that's why those  things can get almost 30 mpg on the highway)...I know the T5's fifth gear was not that low.
