Price for gear install

[wasi34]

Does anyone know a good speed shop to have gears installed in a 2001 mustang GT in the chicago land area. I called one place and they said it was going to be about $850 for the gears and the install which I thought was nuts.

Thanks.

450 in jax, FL - anyone that knows what they're doing shouldn't charge more than $500 for gears + labor

Speed Inc in Schaumburg...dont know price though.


they are a sponsor for our local club and lots of people are happy with their work. i know their site features mostly gm stuff but they are great with ford stuff too.

$850 is a rip...keep calliing around...should be about $375 - $500 + tax for a gear and bearings install.

if no luck, I gotta a guy here 35 miles South of Nashville that will do it for you for $450

Try Straightline Performance. They are more known on the Chevy boards but they do Mustangs too and do great work.

I paid $300 for an install. I supplied the gears, bearings, and lube but the whole rear end was rebuilt including the trac-lok. Only thing not changed was the axle shafts or differential carrier itself.

I paid a cheap price though I really wouldn't pay over $350 for an install.

you got quoted WAY too much

 

[gip99drop]

I got a sweet deal on my install. Gears, install, and hand held tuner for 600 bucks. This was the best deal in my area.

a friend of mine works at a ford dealership

used the ford shop and he installed the gears.

I paid a 12 pack of beer and slipped him a hundred even though he didn't want it.

Moral of the story: make friends

When I was asking for quotes the five shops I called were all pretty close in price (for labor only). ~$480-$600 (top price was a Ford dealer) was the range.

Best bet is to find someone to do it as a side job. Most of the installs aren't that hard - so I've been told.

Man that's high, where do you live?

 

[20BlackGT02]

That's a cheap quote compared to Mid State Transmissions in Bloomington/Normal. They quoted me over $1200 bucks. Now that's a rip off!

 

[gip99drop]

I guess I'm lucky, we have shops everywhere in Dallas and the surrounding areas.

I had a bearing fail, and needed to have a entire rear end rebuilt... I called a family friend, who is a car dealer at one of the local ford dealerships. I asked him if he could get me in contact with a mechanic to do it on the side and I only paid $300.00... I supplied the trac lok rebuild kit, bearings, gears, and lube... I think the dealership wanted $850 or something...

where in the chicagoland area you located?


and the more i think of it why is is called Chicagoland area? i have lived here for 20 years and i cant think of a single other city that puts "land" after the name to describe areas surrounding a major city.

 

[wasi34]

I live in Aurora. The place I called was Finish Line Performance in Naperville.

 

[jrobinsonchicag]

Rush Racing in Schererville, Indiana. He's famous for Fbody work and has 20+ cars in the shop at all times. $250 installed.

It's just across the line in Indiana.

lol finiush line performance is one of the better ones. Did they quote you for a new differential, rebuild, or just a gear install?

If you buy genuine ford gears (ford racing), they are prelisted for the amount of pinion depth, usually spot on, and all you really mess with is backlash. I live in Rockford and the last gear job I did was $250 labor (8 hr job normally). If you care to make a drive and have your own parts, I can set you up. PM if interested
