RE: GEARS
i just recently bought 3.73 gears for my 95 GT. the person i bought it from said the install was easy except torquing the yoke. i want to do this myself but i need help from pros out here. how are the crucial steps/precautions i should take when undergoing this task? how long will it take? or should i just get professional to do it?
thanks

It's do-able but you need some specialized tools, including a press, dial micrometer, inch pound torque wrench, and a monster torque wrench (for the yoke part you mentioned). I would recommend a shop do it; it runs around $200.

RE: GEARS
Ok guys I have a big question for you all,
I just had 3.73s installed in my 01 GT. The car is running great except that the rear end is making a high pitched sound in certain RPM band widths. I called the shop that installed it and they said that this is normal, and that it will quiet down a little more miles I drive. Something to do with the parts fusing and setting in, and they had to shim to make the gears fit correctly.. The shop that did it is very good at what they do, but I am not sure if it should make this noise or not. What do you guys think?
