Gears question and i need a good shop in GA
Ok, so im sick of these 3.31 gears and barely being able to chirp second. Im ready for some 4.10s. My main concern is not knowing what all i will need for the install as well as a final price. I know there are tons of threads on gears but that makes it a bit hard to search for especially when every other thread mentions gears.
What all will i need aside from the $150 ford racing 4.10 gears?? My stang is at about 63k miles. I see they offer an install kit, bearking kit, and T-LOK rebuild kit. Will i need all of this?
And does anyone have and good shops in georgia? Preferably around the south atlanta area? And any ideas on the total cost for a gear install? i know ive seen quotes all the time but i cant recall any

Figure about an avg of $250 for an install at most perf shops. If your willing to come down to Jacksonville, I know 2 GREAT shops right of the top of my mind, PM me if needed.
You will also need some type of prgrammer to fix/adjust your speedo to the new gears.
As far as what you need, most perf shops have gear oil & shims readily available, although once you find a shop, it would not hurt to ask them.

Shadow, You HAVE to go to MV performance - when I started to check around, they were by far the BEST price and the BEST reviews. I took my car to them and they changed the gear and lowered it for me. I was able to watch them as they did it...I have had NO PROBLEMS with my gear...Also, I just told them what gear I wanted (4:10) and they took care of the rest...They ordered the gear for me

I sent an email to MV Performance. Ive actually heard of them before from a guy I talked to a while back who delivers motors. He said they do a lot of work on mustangs so that sounds like just what i need. Hopefully by july i can get them installed if the pricing is what im hoping for

I just paid $281 at a very reputable north texas shop for just install and kit; can imagine it won't be that much more @ other places in the south. I also went from 3.31 to 4.10. You're going to have a blast with them, promise!
Have them box up the old gears for you too just in case; besides they make cool garage/mancave decoration once you clean them up.
Oh yeah, ask the shop beforehand about the T-Lok rebuild kit if you want it...I didn't do it but asked out of curiosity and the shop said I would have had to soak the discs in gear oil overnight before they could install them.
