Finally

Blackbeauty v601 · January 13th, 2008, 11:36 PM

well i finally fell into some extra cash so i just ordered the 4.10 gears, t lock and a shift kit, i was wondering how long do you guys think its going to take for the garage to put it all in. and about how much do you think its going to cost
thanks for any help as always.

300 for the install maybe depends on mech and labor rates

how much does it takes? u have the back back the same day if the mechs doesnt have too much work

tjames · January 14th, 2008, 12:32 AM

geats and t-loc will be $300 alone. shift kit will put up more then $300, labor is whats going to kiss you, its will take a while to install the gears, t-loc and shift kit. and plan on leaving your car there a soolid 2 days at a bust shop, because they have other cars to work on too

GotBoost232 · January 14th, 2008, 12:49 AM

300+ in labor...plus a good solid 2 days plus

Blackbeauty v601 · January 14th, 2008, 01:57 AM

my friend was telling me if i drive it hard then it will brake my axles , you guys think that a shift kit, gears, and a posi can lead to a broken axle?

snakey5138999 · January 14th, 2008, 02:10 AM

ummm unless you have some ponies under the hood and you drive like an @$$ then i dought you will have any problems. yes you have some power but dont abuse it.

GreenFaleen · January 14th, 2008, 09:31 AM

250 tops for gears and t-lok 50 tops for shift kit
it is just bearings and a shift plate, your car shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours of solid labor from a good shop, as for breaking axles go smack your friend with a fish cause your not gonna break them until about 300hp on the street, 250hp maybe with a hard launch on slicks

You wont break your axle.....but you should be easy on the car for atleast 500 miles so the gears can break in. Beating on it can wear the gears down since they will not have cured to their maximum strength. That is what the friction modifier helps do.

very cool thank you guys for all of your help

see this is what i want EVERYONE TO see and understand when i stress big name school like UTI and in this guys case WYOTECH
DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE GOOD!!! a kid that graduated from my auto program (no big name) is at Ford and they DO NOT hire anyone from those school, clearly you can see why. if a 2hour job takes 2days+ then CLEARLY there is something wrong

shadow5403 · January 15th, 2008, 08:10 AM

gears is a 3-4 hour process depending how fast the mechanic wants to work. hahah if my car was out for 2 days for a gear install id be fuming.

Hourofpain · January 15th, 2008, 12:40 PM

Do the shift kit yourself

Blackbeauty v601 · January 15th, 2008, 02:41 PM

i dont know how to do the shift kit my self never done it before if there is a good write up explaining how then im sure i can do it on my own.

Hourofpain · January 15th, 2008, 04:31 PM

i think mustang world has one

its really not hard
you unbolt the pan cover
your gonna remove the filter
your gonna unbolt and remove the assembly inside the tranny
make a few holes bigger and replace soem springs

Bolt it back in
refill it
kapeesh

theres more to it
but anyone with a little automotive knowledge can do it

supercharged421 · January 16th, 2008, 07:01 PM

id say 300+

Blackbeauty v601 · January 16th, 2008, 10:50 PM

well the guy told me from 250 to 500 so i dont know exactly, now you say 300 with the shift kit, t-lock, and gears right?

Figure around 300 for the gears/t-lok install. Usually someone who works on trannys wont know how to do axle work and vice versa. I wouldnt trust the same guy working on two completely separate areas of the car.
