Default Orange County Gears Shop

Hi,

I have a '90 GT Vert and i'm just starting to mod it out. I'm looking for a shop in Orange County, CA to install gears. Does anyone have a recommendation? Also, i'm not sure if I want to go with 3.55 or 3.73 gears. It's an automatic transmission, plus the extra weight for the convertible, i'm leaning towards 3.73 gears.

Thanks!

Wow! Wish I had known about him. I'll probably let him fix my botched gear job, for which I paid $815 NOT INCLUDING L/S CLUTCHES.

I think he just said to "install" the gears and everything else. 300 is a lot for just labor

it was 300 for labor but it was to install basically every part in the axle so i dont think it was that bad of a deal

got my gears brand new for $50 at the ford dealer[sm=icon_cheers.gif]
