3.73 gears
I am gettin 3.73 gears for my car it is an 04 V6 automatic..will these be ok even though they arent 4.10's? whats the difference between the 2? I found 3.73 real cheap and includes crossshaft anything else needed to install these? and about how much is it to instal at a local shop without including the gears just labor.
Thanx

RE: 3.73 gears
probably about 250-350 in labor for the gears. depends on the place (obviously). if i were you, i'd get the 4.10s. there's about a 200rpm difference between 3.73 and 4.10. when i went with 3.73, i thought i made a mistake and should have gotten 3.55. then i got used to them and kick myself in the **** all the time for not going with 4.10s.

The shop I use looked up labor..according to Mitchell on Demand, it takes 8 hours to do for an EXPERIENCED tech. Multiply that by your shop's labor rate. Mine is at $65.00 per hour...do the math.

RE: 3.73 gears
If your doing gears, get a possi unit also. Cost is around two hundred for gears and two hundred for a t-lock or Auburn possi unit, but if you shop you can get them for less. With low gears and one wheel spin, you'll never get off the line fast. I have an auto trany with 4:10's, possi and wide rear tires and I jump off the line great now! It still breaks loose a little shifting to second, but it stays staight as an arrow and only chirps in third.
