Putting 4.10's in my 01 Mustang GT 5 spd

MyBloodRunsBlue · January 26th, 2007, 01:41 AM

Well, I called a local ford dealership and they gave me a quote of 813.00 dollars to put 4.10's in my car. WTF???!!!!???

how in the hell could they charge me that much money to put damn gears in my car? if you have had someone else put gears in your car, how much did they charge you??

I did the install myself, just cost parts and beer....

The local shops however quoted me around $500 with parts included. One shop specialized in Mustang performance, the other specialized in rear-end gearing. $500 is about right, they can be a pain to align correctly.

Why would you ever go to a dealership to get aftermarket work done? You had to know they were going to try to rape you. LOL

superbeef1000 · January 26th, 2007, 02:50 AM

i paid 250 for the bearing kit and the gear install.... at a 4+4 shop

White99stang · January 26th, 2007, 03:03 AM

NEVER go to the dealership to get anything done but warrenty work, cause you will get raped.

matrixpuba · January 26th, 2007, 03:43 AM

i gave around 300 for a rebuild with new gears, t-lok, and 31 spline everything, arp studs and girdle

+1

Gear install, WITH the Extra BSR Modified Dif. Mod and All Parts included cost me 492. At a mustang performance shop.

gills99stang · January 26th, 2007, 05:07 AM

You can get Ford Racing gears for about $150-200, pm tommyboy, he just bought Ford Racing 3:73's for about $150, I don't remember where. Just call around the local shops and get a price quote. Like White99stang said, NEVER go to the dealership for anything except warranty stuff, they will ALWAYS rape you.

MyBloodRunsBlue · January 26th, 2007, 05:19 AM

so i'm guessing just go to a local shop that works on cars such as a place that dynoes cars and figure out who can do it?

MyBloodRunsBlue · January 26th, 2007, 05:20 AM

thanks for all the advice guys. i'm going to start calling around tomorrow. ill keep ya posted

gills99stang · January 26th, 2007, 05:21 AM

I would call around. Not everyones does gears since they can be very tricky. Any local transmission place should be able to do it. I know Aamco won't do it, because they won't install aftermarket gears.

sonicblue · January 26th, 2007, 06:47 AM

where are you located?

MyBloodRunsBlue · January 26th, 2007, 12:42 PM

lol 1 day after i asked a ford dealership to do it and they said 813.00, i called a performance shop and they quoted me 340.00 for everything. labor and parts. i'll have to say i'm going with the performance shop. i'm in mobile, alabama sonic

Keegan_Vann · January 26th, 2007, 01:04 PM

I bought Ford Racing gears and i didn't have to make any adjustments. Just take the old ones out and replace with the new ones. The shims stay the same.

Keegan_Vann · January 26th, 2007, 01:06 PM

If you do this though I would definitely get a dial indicator just to make sure that your backlash is right and you don't have to add a few shims here and there. Not hard at all though. I have done this twice once in the front and rear end of my f-250 and in the rear end of my mustang. Never have had any problems.

Ryno · January 26th, 2007, 01:33 PM

Yea dealers rape you for anything but warrenty... hell I called a dealer and asked if they could recalibrate my speedo after i changed the gears, they said yea so i took her in, then they charged me $30 fucking dollars to tell me that they could not do it... i was steemed and let them know it... I had a guy I know change my gears... it cost $150 for the labor (i bought the gears beforehand) but from what I hear FRPP gears are the way to go

Mustang Mike · January 28th, 2007, 02:47 PM

I paid 300 to have my 4.10s installed

GTsetGO · January 28th, 2007, 03:00 PM

That's nuts. I do believe I would have told him where to put that bill - I don't pay people to tell me what the can't do.
