I think it's on the left side of the top. Get a mechanics manual!


They really ****ed you over with those gears didnt they? How much did they charge for the gears and labor?

classic example of why you shouldnt base everything on price. I have read so many replies the last week about the cost of gear changes, and I replied in one thread that said a competent mechanic will charge what he feels he is worth.

I'm not trying to find out how much he paid for the job so that I have an idea of how much it would cost me to have it done. The only thing it will cost me is a little bit of time and elbow grease. I just want to have an idea of how much he got raped by his mechanic.

Yeah, they did. They charged me $815--the price of having a specialist do the gears to avoid any mishaps (so I thought). Fiveliter, they did put synthetic in the diff--Redline synthetic. Is that type of oil red?

Some diff cover bolts loosening up isn't that big of a deal. But if you pay to have a job done you expect it to be done right. Been there done that, there isn't a engine shop/machine shop in the tri county area I'll take my stuff to.

$815?!?!? How much was the god damned ring and pinion??? **** me in the god damned ******* runnin! Do they not back their work? Bug the **** out those ******** man! Get your money back...get them to pay for someone else to do the rearend the right way. Do something. Break their windows, **** man. **** them over like they ****ed you over. That's not something to let slide and say oh well. That's a VITAL organ to your damned car man.

What brand did they put in your car? Gears and oil brand. If you have it relubed...get the 75/90 ROYAL PURPLE. It's the best thing your rear end will ever sip on.

Yeah, I know their trippin. I was trippin for paying that much. At this point, I don't want them to touch the car again. I'd rather live with the howl. I would like to get my money back though. I doubt the shop owner would ever give it up.
