ok so i called a local performance shop that specializes in mustangs today. i asked him about a gear install and this is what he said

$300 for FRPP 3.73 gears with install

or

$520 for FRPP 3.73 gears, trac-loc clutches (i think he said he uses 4 or somethign so that it is a lot tighter than stock or i could get the 3 for less), pinion seals, speedo gear, all synthetic fluids and install

what do you guys think?

also i wanna buy a set of Ford Racing lowering springs off craigslist. he said have 2000 miles on them. i believe they are the .86" fornt and .5" rear. (waiting for his email) which would be nice for my wheel and tire setup. asking $75 good y/n?

 

$520 plus the springs, oh yah.
nice. good deals.

 

where is this shop btw? how far are you from, say, springfield

 

thats a good deal... tho personally if i were to have a shop do my gears(im doing mine myself come fall, in school) id just do the 300. and then redo the clutches myself... easy job imo... and yea by using more clutch discs then usual, itll lock easier/sooner

 

My local performance shop charges $600 for gears and install! $660 if they have to use the new pinion...

I would be all over gears for $300 installed!

well the shop is in Fall River, MA its called CDPerformance.

dimebag i thought about doing it myself but ive never done gears b4 and i would have to do it w/ a jack and i prob dont have th propper tools.. even tho id love to do it myself i just dont want to mess it up and have them wine

 

nothsa i want my trac loc rebuilt tho. sometimes i get the one legger and its embarassing.. haha

i hope it doesnt need the pinion seals so it will be cheaper

 

also the shop has a dynojet $60/hr i think i may have to hit that up too

 

pinion seal needs changing regardless

 

oh okay then
