I got quoted $425 for a gear install including fluid and guaranteed no whine, does this sound about right? If not, what should I be looking for? Thanks!

I paid my mechanic buddy $200 for it. Then $150 for the gear and maybe $20 for fluid. So it sounds a little pricey to me.

JJones_86

Yeah, but did you get a discount because he's your friend?

around here its going for about 300. My mechanic said he would do it with everything included for 500.

EVERYTHING included, including the speedo recalibration would be a good deall, if not, its just alright

heres what you need, and the average costs

Gear 180-200
Rear End Bearing Kit 90-100
Speedo Recal 90 (dallas mustang speedcal, more for a tuner [8D])
Fluid (2-4 bottles) 30
Labor 200 (this is what you shoudl look for if you're payign JUST labor)

everythign ran me right around 600 including everything listed there

Do shops usually have the bearing kit? I hadn't heard anything about a bearing kit...

Usually not. If your close to 60000 miles, your gonna need it. I had 14000 on my car when I had my gears installed. Didn`t need the bearing kit. I paid $200 I supplied the fluid, and gears.

425 is about the rate I think the places around me are around 500, 550.
depending on your miles you might as well go ahead and get a bearing kit. as far as the speedo, your sig says you have a Predator you can recal your speedo with that.
Do the 01 Cobrs have IRS?

JJones_86

JJones_86

Yeah, I'm at 57,000 so i guess I'll order them to. Thanks for the info
