get a how-to manual, a friend or 2 (preferably car club members with experience in auto repair), a 24 pack of bud light and save your self some cash. cuz the way i see it, frankly, is that if u have the $300 to spend, then asking the forum isnt gonna change the price (make the shop guy go lower). if u have the cash for the over 500 dollar service, then why even ask the forum. sounds pointless. but hey either way, get em installed, i got mine on for free with all the trimmings on the house. good luck and have fun.

 

no i meant have the shop do the gears... and YOU rebuild the t-lock... its easy... well this is comming from someone in the middle of a t5 rebuild... hell everything is easy compared to this, lol... but no realy dude, its not that hard to rebuild the t lock urself

 

I just priced 3.73's at a machine shop...$303 for the gears and $75 an hour for install...he said it will take around 3 hours, so i'm looking at around $700 total.

He said the cheaper ones (like the ones you see at Brenspeed) are like butter and he won't install them...that's why he quoted me those $300 ones. I would attempt to do myself with some of from my dad and a friend, but I read you need some special tools in order to be able to do it.

 

there are two shops way closer to you. there is one in plymouth right near the water front... those guys ahve plenty of fast stangs and now there way around one and there is also mustang performance in whitman. he probably knows even more and has so many damn cars in his shop it would make your head spin. he has done lots of projects from mild stuff to totally outta control cars. i would call him up he is a sponsor of this site and is cool ask for chris. he is always reasonable priced.

for the record i have dealt with and my friends have dealt with cd performance and i won't be there again. i am not about to air out someones dirty laundry but i would check out those other two places i recommended.

 

520, your rear end needs the new clutches and stuff, mine was clunkin like a bitch before, now its smooth

 

Unless you know what youre doen, dont attempt your gears. Gotta get the right shims, backlash, and it takes a few hours. Did mine by myself but i also have a shop. Alot of guys do theres ona jack but sooo much easier on a hoist. But thats not a bad deal. Go for it.

 

adum fall river is like 20 min from my house and plymouth is like 40 and witman is an hour

i could also go to lenoards performance in taunton too but thats 40 min from me too...

what happened w/ cdperformance that you wont go back again?

dave93 i was askin if it was a fair price for the job and was currious on what other people have paid

 

i don't want to air out the guys problems cause he may have gotten on the straight and narrow now but don't pay for a job until it is complete.

 

oh i wouldnt pay unless its complete and works correctly

 

you pay then drive off and it breaks two weeks later... get my drift.
