i bought the motive 3.73 can i do the install myself. what all do you have to do, and how long will it take with myself and another guy who has a ton of knowledge(he just put a Z06 engine in an S10-whoa that **** is fast)... mostly on chevys but knowledge is knowlege. do you need to buy any extra parts or should i just get that extra install kit that they sell. has anyone done them themselves, any info is great.

Gears are a BIG job! My speed shop allows 5-6 hours and charges $250. I think they are best left to the pros. They can adjust the clutch tightness and shim them for street or strip depending how tight you want your posi.

I actually just bought FORD 3.73 gears from my dealership and im putting them in. I'll let you know how long it takes me. I paid 129.00 for the gears, i bought a crush colar, ring and pinion, pinion nut, shims, pinion bearing. good luck!

Let a shop do it. I'm installing 4.10s and paid 130$ for the gears and 150$ for installation with rear in the car.

did you buy the installation package

Depends on how old your rear is and everything. You need crush collar, pinion bearing, pinion nut mostly. You MIGHT need the whole kit but let a pro take your car and run it see how it sounds and everything. You could end up saving yourself like 80$ if you don't need the kit. Some will say that you NEED the kit and some will say you just need mainly what I've listed above if everything is in working order.
