Default RE: Question about gears

Personally I would never let a dealership service dept. touch my car, unless it was for warrenty work, the techs generally are not accustomed to doing performance type work (I know there are exceptions, so if a tech sees this don't take it personal). Find a shop that is used to doing performance mods on cars and Stangs in particular, ask around some local shows or cruise nights, there is bound to be a shop that is reasonably close to you. As for cost it can vary but I would plan on spending at least $250. Don't forget to have your speedometer re callibrated after the swap.

yea i agree w/what he said...that is what i did went to a local person and got them to do it. match sure you get all the hardware needed i think it is around $50. whatever you do..dont try to do it yourself or go to Ford...if they do it right it will cost you an arm and a leg...cost range from 250-350. mine was like 350 cause i didn't have hardware and this guy was the best around my region. ? for the guy that replied before me: why do you have to re cal ur speedometer? i know you go alot faster. my top speed was like 130 and now i hit 145 and it wasn't letting up but the road was coming to an end. do you have to cause i would go past the register?

If you don't recalibrate your speedometer it will read considerably higher... your mileage will then be incorrect because it thinks you're going faster than you actually are.

I had a shop that does the dyno/tuning, put mine in. I had everything and it cost me $250, and they some redline fluid in there as well.
