Rear gear installation

shurb125 · March 13th, 2007, 08:13 PM

Can anyone give me a price range for a good install, I have purchased all the parts (Deluxe install kit with bearings, 3.55 Ford Racing gears from summit and trac-loc rebuid kit from latemodel restoration) so I'm just looking for installation price range. Thanks for your help!

Should be able to get it done for 250-300 at the most.. maybe less if you know someone...

did i get ripped off?.....back in the day they charged me like $850 for the install kit, 4/10's and installed......But than again it was a shop where they worked on mostly chevy's so i guess they had something against me LOL.

yea you know how them big time chevy guys frown upon mustangs.

mikebert · March 13th, 2007, 09:05 PM

I wouldn't have let any Chevy guy handle my rear end.

NYHigH · March 13th, 2007, 09:13 PM

I've always installed the gears myself. Not that bad of a job if you understand how it all works and know about setting backlash, pinion depth etc.

I was recomended a place by a friend who has some friends that have used this shop and I called and he quoted me $125 for the install, should I be worried?

Stangzilla · March 13th, 2007, 09:34 PM

Not really it should be able to be done in 2 hours or so with a lift, right tools and knowledge..

Where is that shop at, I can drive over there and get mines, done. I'm in NY and shop here wants like $350 for installation

NYHigH · March 13th, 2007, 09:54 PM

if you have to drive more than a half hour to get there, good luck getting home if your driving it back......it will take you like 2 hours lol
cause you have to break them in

shurb125 · March 13th, 2007, 10:07 PM

The shop is only about 10-15 min away.

+1 especially when people ask for help about local shops, etc. Paranoia much?

For instance, I can't wait to see AtlanticBlue on the streets one day because I know he's down the road from me thanks to his profile. We'll be bestest friends!

Tony_90fox · March 14th, 2007, 03:09 AM

I know quite a few people in my town. But we have a local site too!
