How much should I pay for Installed gears?


Hello,
Great threads on gear ratios and what to go with. Just stopped by Redline Performance Automotive that I was recommneded from this site. They seem to have a fabulous shop and from what I hear great work on mustangs. I asked them how much for installing gears. They told me they would put a set of 4:10 in for around 650 to 700 installed. That is the purchase of gears included with installation. I have a diablo handheld tuner to adjust the gear ration on the comp. Is this a good deal? Please let me know. Thanks

I'd say buy the gears and I'm willing to say there's some gearheads in your area willing to help or would do it for a way better price.

But i heard of a shop in my area that dose the install for 300, so with the gears that would be about 570, so i think that 700 is sligtly high.

$400 with a rebuild kit. Anything over 500 is just flat out riduculous.

$700 is high...for jeeps its $1,000-$1,200 for gears installed (if not less) and thats front AND rear. which means its about $500-$600 per axle at most. you shouldn't pay more than that at all.

Ask them how much they charge for labor alone assuming you already have the gears.
