Default My quote for gears

Well I called up my well known shop and got quoted a little over 900 for gear install and right a way I think it seems really high. Im looking at 3.73. If there is anyone in the tucson area that knows of a good place could you let me know.

Not sure who you called, but even a "well-known" mechanic shop will overcharge you. The key is, it can't just be a mechanic shop. You need to find a well known tuner in your area, who specializes in 4.6L cars, or high performance cars. Those are the guys who know what they are doing, still charge you $125/hr., but since unlike a mechanic, they get it done in 2 hrs and you pay $500, instead of a mechanic taking 3 days and charging you $90/hr. then adding up to your $900 quote.

$900 for gears and install is a raping. Shop around more.
