Guy is offering to install them for $190 or $125 if I provide the fluid but does not include speedo recalibration. Is this a good deal and what is the cheapest/easiest way to recalibrate the speedo?

 

Thats a good deal if he knows what he's doing and you dont have to go back and fix it a month later. The cheapest way t recalibrate the speedo is probably a speedocal. They have them at Dallas Mustang for $90 I believe.

 

Awesome price, but it's a good idea to print out installation instructions and leave them with him just incase..

 

this guy is a 03 cobra owner who just started a ford performance shop, I'd guess he knows his stuff pretty well

 

I paid 275 for mine and i had to buy the fluid too. I also bought new bearings. so it was more like 350 all together.

 

I must have gotten robbed. I ended up having to pay almost $1000 for a complete rebuild of my rear diff.

I guess the only difference is I had the beefier Spider gears put in, a complete rebuild kit to include new Carrier for the Locker, 3.73's, and a new rear U-Joint.

I think I paid almost $400 for the labor itself, and it's only warrantied for a year.

The only piece of mind is, the place that did mine, also has a 2500 whp dragster who has never blown a rear diff since they've worked on it. Too bad I think they need to re-shim mine, I get some whirring, and a little vibration on deceleration.

Thank god for the warranty.

something don't sound quite right about the price difference as the fluid sure as hell don't cost the $65 difference in the prices he quoted you. are you sure you didn't misunderstand something?????

 

Where can I find instructions on installing gears on a 99 GT?

 

he was saying that I would have to use some full synthetic gear stuff in a 99+. I know I heard him correct because I made him repeat it three times, lol. He's a SVT tech at a local ford dealership who is opening a ford performance shop on the side with some other people

 

good synthetic fluid is like $10 a qt... you only need 2 qts
