ok....This thread is more about installation than gears. What I want to know is, those of you who have installed your own gears, was it a fuzzy warm experience for you or would you recommend actually taking it to a shop and have it done? I purchased a set of FRPP 4.10's along with the "install kit" from 50resto.com and am debating on tackling this myself or not. Any thoughts? Thanks!

ive heard from many ppl that they are not for beginners....im taking the gears and getting them intalled and having new clutch discs put in my trak lok all for 300....

 

dang what a deal! my gear install alone was 275

 

and whats even better is that he is about a 4 minute walk from my house.... the ffirst est. i got from a shop was 400.

 

$300 - $400 for a full overhaul (labor cost) is not a bad deal, anything less than that would fall in the TGTBT (Too Good To Be True) area, and quality of the work would be questionable.....do suggest you have them done, simply because it's not a "replace & torque" type of installation, and it requires some special measurement equipment.....check the procedure at http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/5o...5ohtech001.htm .......

 

I wouldnt tackle it my self. Its not a job for the inexperienece. If u dont set those gear right. They will wine there a** off.
