I'm still under warranty, so if I decide to do gears soon, should I get the dealership to do it?

whtcanbrwnd04u, is the $600 just for labor, or does it include everything....gears, gear kit, labor, trans fluid,...etc?

i've got 3.31's in my car and am planning on putting in 4.10's real soon. anyone know what I should expect to pay for this. i usually put this kinda stuff in myself but I've never put in gears and I just keep hearing how careful you have to be and I just don't want to screw it up.
Its best to leave the installation of rear end gears to someone thats done it a bunch of times.

In my area it cost $200 labor. I thing the Ford gears are around $200 +/-

Hmm I'm feeling pretty good compared to the price I was quoted by my Mustang shop.
$ 250 for labor/fluids.
