I just called ford and they said there were gonna charge 800 bucks to put gears in for me? Just labor!!! I have the gears already 800 just for labor and he said it would be a 8 hour job?!!!! Whatever!!!! I've seen my brother (in Iraq ) do the same job in a couple of hours....are they nuts?!!!

It's not the easiest thing but 8hrs and 800.00 is a little much!

a ford dealer quoted me the same thing, i would find a mustang shop and go there

8 hours does not seem out of the question for an inexperienced mechanic but someone with years of experience should be able to do it in less, my mechanic only charges me 200 to install mine and that is with rebuilding the diff

Yep!!! Dallas mustang said 250 ill prolly just got there this week.

I knew ford was nuts

Way way way to much. I had mine installed with a posi and rebuild for 500. That even that was to much.

There are a handful of Mustang/dyno shops around here and Ive had gears installed a few times using two of them...most I ever paid was $225....the dealership will always be the highest price though

Dealerships go by 'book' price. That means they go by whatever their book tells them is the alloted labor for a particular job, nothing more, nothing less.

Most shops (decent ones) will go by average price meaning what is actual average of time (price) they find it takes to perform the work from experience. When they don't have experience they will fall back to book price for quoting purposes.

I was charged $250 for gear install, new rear seals, and rear mach 1 calipers/brakes installed.

$800 is absurd
