Installing Gears?

99BlkStang · January 5th, 2012, 12:17 PM

Just went to a shop down the street from me today to see if i could get an estimate for installing 4.10's... they said it would be around $800... is this what i should be expecting everywhere?

04MidnightGT · January 5th, 2012, 12:21 PM

That's pretty high, I've seen shops charge anywhere from 300-600.

99BlkStang · January 5th, 2012, 12:26 PM

i guess ill keep caling around. once i heard 800 i got all depressed.

andrewskaggs · January 5th, 2012, 12:37 PM

That is a bit high, but don't forget that it's a job that will take a fair amount of time. As mentioned above, anything up to about $600 I would consider a fair price.

Y2KGT · January 5th, 2012, 12:59 PM

Do you already have the gears? If so around my area gear install is feom 250-300. Thay includes gear oil and friction modifier.

99BlkStang · January 5th, 2012, 01:09 PM

yeah, i have the gears, just need someone to install it. figured 800 was a little high. so should i be expecting it to be close to 600?

Shaun03GT · January 5th, 2012, 01:15 PM

I paid $250. That's wayyyyy to high. At that point is just do them myself.

RVAStang05 · January 5th, 2012, 01:15 PM

I got an estimate of almost $700 which I thought was high. Posted that on some other forums and people agreed, so I called around. Found 2 places to do it for under $400. Don't pay that. Keep looking.

Cabikejumper · January 5th, 2012, 01:25 PM

Our shops charge 450 installed including the gears. Rebuild kit is extra.

termi_GT · January 5th, 2012, 01:27 PM

Shops around me $250 is the norm. I do them on the side myself and only charge $100-150 depending on what all they want me to do while I am in there.

Bit of advise while you're at it, if you have not already pick up some new clutches and have them thrown in while they do the gears.

03_StangGuy · January 5th, 2012, 01:27 PM

Should be able to have gears installed for under $400 $800 is just insane!

thats robbery you should pay less than half that.

99BlkStang · January 5th, 2012, 03:47 PM

damn, best i found was for 425. still looking... doesnt look to good that ill find one for under 400

T-Lee. 30 · January 5th, 2012, 03:50 PM

^ thats alot better than the $800 you were told by the first shop.

Shaun03GT · January 5th, 2012, 03:53 PM

Where are you from op?

LGHTNG02GT · January 5th, 2012, 04:04 PM

that $425 isnt all that bad if its from a deent shop. CJ Pony parts charges in the 400-500 ball park if i remember correctly.

2 of my friends do gear installs for $150 if you have all the parts.

99BlkStang · January 5th, 2012, 04:12 PM

yeah $425 is a way better than the first shop. hahaha. I live in California. I wish i knew someone to do it for 150, i already have all the parts, just waiting for either my next pay check or to find some place a little bit cheaper

02gtKev · January 5th, 2012, 05:16 PM

I got quoted $400 at 3 different shops, then i ended up doing it myself at a friends place that had all the right tools.

Still running strong and no noises after 7 months.

That $425 may b your best bet then unless you check the closest city and and its only like 20miles away and and alot cheaper.
