4.10 gears FTW!!!!
I picked my car up from the shop just before 6pm today. I was expecting it to feel different, but not totally different! I did baby it all the way home except one yellow light where I blipped the gas in 3rd gear a little. It feels twice as quick now in every gear. It's almost hard to describe. When the rpms are at 3k in 3 gear it doesn't feel the same as it did with the 3.55's, almost feels like i'm at 1500rpms, weird.
For those wondering, my rpms are right at 2500@75mph in 5th, this is with the stock 17's.
The total came to $371 for parts and labor, not including the gears which were $219. They had to replace the inner pinion bearing which added $24. It's pressed on the pinion shaft and can't be removed without damaged or atleast it's not easy to remove without damaging it.
I have bad news though. I got my M&H drag radials on Monday, but American muscle is out of the 17x9 anthrite rims for 4-6 weeks! That sucks! I'm thinking about buying some 17x8 takeoffs from Brenspeed and have the shop shoehorn the 275/50/17's on there.
No whine whatsoever by the way. The only thing the shop screwed up on besides maybe the diff girdle is they put my old gears and cover back in the boxes and placed them in my back seat. That in itself isn't the problem, the problem is they didn't clean them very well so my car smells like gear oil!!!! for those that don't know, gear oil smells like old stinky ***!

I edited the post and added the total. They had total me $300, but had to replace a few parts that they didn't expect and they didn't know exactly what I had when they gave me that price.

Yeah, I was. I drove 52 minutes to get there just before they closed.
I'm surprised how good the stock gears look. These things must be tough because I know they have a hard life back there.

Allright...i guess i am going to have to get them....this was one mod I told myself I was going to stay away from....but hell you only live once and putting more gas in the car and replacing tires sooner isnt a bad thing.....
