I went by a local speed shop here in town, the only one I trust and this is what I was quoted:
Ford Racing 4.10 gears for 269.99
Shim and Bearing Kit for 94.99
60/hour of installation, aprox. 3-4 hrs.

He also said that he would throw in the lube for free and recommended Mobil1 plus some additive (I cant remember the name) that ford makes.
I really like this shop and from what Ive heard they do good work. Only reputable shop in town.
Any info would be appreciated

Sounds good to me.

I'm sure you can get the gears cheaper though.

find the gears online and you will prob save a lil

most places won't let you bring in gears and have them put them on for you for the same price as they would if you bought them from them [>:]

i got the gears for 220.00 from flewbyu.com i've seen as low as 200. i paid 300 for the gear install and i didnt need to but the shim and bearing kitshop said it wasnt necessary they had everything already

the labor is cheap IMO

I was quoted $225 for labor and oil from a very good shop. I asked if I need an installation kit and they told me no.

Ditto, that shop wasn't in Jacksonville was it?

You said it all in your own post when you said "the only shop I trust"

That speaks volumes and is more important than saving a few pennies IMO. I would rather spend a couple more dollars with a shop I can count on. Far more important, but that's just me.

However, I have to ask, if you 'trust' them, why are you asking if they are ripping you off or not? Doesn't sound like a lot of trust to me.

I guess I shouldnt have used the word "trust" since I dont have first hand expierence with them since this will be my first time dealing with them. However from what I have heard they are very trustworthy and overall I got a very good impression from the owner. That being said, I didnt think I was getting ripped off, I just wanted to verify with some people on here that have had expierence with this matter . And I totally do not mind having to pay a little extra to know that the job will be done right the first time around. On another note regarding the gear lube, Ive heard a lot of people using the Royal Purple for the gears but I remember reading something about having to use some sort of additive. Has anyone used the Mobil 1 gear lube?
