Reasonable gear install price

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 01:50 PM

I purchased 4:10 gears and I am shopping around the install. What is a reasonable install price?

Also should I trust just any shop to install?

Thanks for the help

BakerFX4 · May 15th, 2010, 01:56 PM

dunno if i would trust just ANY shop to do it. Try and choose one with a good reputation. I would not let "Luther from down the street" do it.

I hadnt planned on letter "Luther" touch my car...lol...is a reputable transmission shop usualy a safe bet?

BakerFX4 · May 15th, 2010, 02:28 PM

I heard Luther from down the street works at that transmission shop so thats up to you!

Really though, Alot of places can do it man. Its not hard.

250-300 I think would be fair

thanks blown

Going rate around here is $250 plus parts. I got mine done for $200 with a discount because I belong to a local Mustang club that sends the shop a lot of business.

poranksta · May 15th, 2010, 03:13 PM

$300 in houston.

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 03:21 PM

WTF?! Some assclown certified ford tech just qouted me $1,200!!! I told him to blow me. Still checking around, anyone know whats standard in NH or MA? I may end up taking it to Boston.

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 03:28 PM

additional question...

The car has been driven by my buddies wife since new (1 owner) and never been driven hard and has 46,000 miles on it. I dont think I need to buy a bearing kit. Anybody have any input on whether or not I need to?

Go to Dez Racing in Seekonk MA. Brian will do the gears, my 4.10's came out great. Only $300.

i would go ahead and do it. i mean weather its hard driving or normal they are parts that wear. why not replace them while the rear is open. no sense in not doing it and say 30k miles down the road they wear out you'd have to open it all back up. so i'd say spend the money now. my 2 cents

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 03:48 PM

Shaun,

Thanks man! How long did they have your car? Same day install?

Why is it so hard? Why isn't this a do it yourself project...

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 03:50 PM

You got a point Qwick

Shaun03GT · May 15th, 2010, 03:52 PM

It took him like 3-4 hours. And they came out unbelievable. No noises, it feels great. Gears can easily be messed up. Its not the easiest thing. You need to drop the axles, so you need the space to do that, you need to disasemble the differential etc....

Aceswild 02 · May 15th, 2010, 03:53 PM

Thanks a lot Shaun...I may end up taking it there

Shaun03GT · May 15th, 2010, 03:55 PM

Yea for sure. Give them a call. Mike Dezotell (owner) tunes the cars, hes a good guy. And Brian is the mechanic, hes a really good guy. Set up an appointment, and get an estimate. No more than $350 in labor I promise.

qwick04gt · May 15th, 2010, 03:57 PM

i just finished building my rear. blew it out at the track. took me 3 weeks. and first thing i did was launch it at 6k with slicks and it held just fine. this is not extremly hard just time consuming and tight tolerences to play with. look up ajm he pretty much walked me through the install. just saying if you want to give it a shot.
