I Need Help Asap

04mustang232 · May 22nd, 2008, 07:32 PM

I just got off the phone with some guy who was supposed to put my gears in. He said that "You need to buy this other part for your car and you cant just change the gears. If you dont get this part your car will be really jerky and wont drive right. I dont know what this part is called but ill find out".

um...ok? first, is this true? Do i need this mysterious part or else my car wont drive right. I am sure one of you guys have done a gear swap and know the answer.

Can you just put gears in, or do you need somthing else? I kno my speedo will be messed up till i plug my programmer in.

thanks guys

master bearing install kit.
it's a good idea to throw a T lock in there while you have the rear end opened up.

i have both the tlock and measter bearing install kit, so i guess thats all i need. Thanks HMUSN

whats this "magic part" you need get back on the phone with your installer

scubasteve041186 · May 23rd, 2008, 11:40 PM

yeah.. wtf is he talking about? is your car auto or manual? cause maybe he's thinking of some torque box or something for the auto.

As long as you have the t-lok and install kit you should have everything that you need. I'm gonna call bullshit on this one. Find out what this part is. I think he's trying to rip you off. It doesn't matter if it is auto or manual that should be all you need. Except of course for new gear oil...but that is a given.

stang300a · May 24th, 2008, 04:32 AM

yea all u need is the tlock and master bearing kit. i just got mine done like 3 weeks ago and no mysterious part was needed.

GreenFaleen · May 24th, 2008, 08:33 AM

make sure you have friction modifier as well

dgt_mustang · May 24th, 2008, 10:38 AM

like everyone else said, master bearing rebuild, and whatever your replacing, gears,or the t-lok.

04mustang232 · May 24th, 2008, 11:05 PM

thanks for the help, i have the gears, tloc, master bearing kit (which he said he wouldnt put in because my car doesnt need), and full synthetic gear oil. When he said he wouldnt put the bearings in cause he didnt think i needed them, i pretty much said f this guy and moved on to the next person on my list.

t-lok

Smart move! find someone that will do it right.

and a tuner to fix your speedo, isnt a necessity, if ur going cheap. gps fixes it, or guess/find one of those cop speedo shits

ford dealership assembled my entire rear end and installed it for like 650. ive had no problems and it makes no noise.

Wow I'm surprised that you got that good a price and quality from the stealership.

Very Good Call!!!! This guy really sounds crappy. I can't believe he actually refused to install your bearing kit

! It is a very good thing you're going to someone else. I'm pretty sure this guy would have fucked yo shit up. Also, I could be wrong but I've heard that when you first get gears put in, you should use regular gear oil and change to synthetic later if you want. Some people also say you should break the new gears in over about 500 miles and then get the gear oil changed(but this has been hotly contested).

04mustang232 · May 25th, 2008, 05:45 PM

yea, i just got synthetic cause thats wat the book at my work says (advance auto). but i plan on changing oil after 500 miles just to be safe. its a decent 30 dollar play it safe move.
