used performance parts [sm=nothatway.gif][sm=noooo.gif]

especially gears...it is probably the most meticulous mod on a mustang as far as installation goes, not like bolting up mufflers or pulleys...god knows what they've been through as far as proper shimming etc...plus it's not like gears are super expensive, top shelf FRPPs are $220 on summitracing.com plus install kit fluids etc...don't screw around with what is the second most gain-yielding mod for our cars (FI being number one of course)...

I would for a track only car, but not my street car. Gears are cheap people. $200 is not a lot of money when you are driving a $25k+ car.

But when you look for gears look for ford racing gears just like those. In that same exact box with the gear ratio STAMPED on the back.
