A local mustang shop is trying to charge me 400 dollars for gears and the install. That seems way too high. Does anyone know what a good price? I saw a thread about this a few weeks ago, but I could not find it via search.

I like Pro3 and all I got was this crappy CT.
i have come to the conclusion as far as gear goes, I WILL pay more to get it done right. there seems to be way too much issue(not all of them. But many of them) with gear swap done by "my buddy's shop, who hooked me up" or "this guy who used to work at repairshop did it on weekend", or my dad knows this guy who'll do it for $200.." type of install.
those are usualy end up with whinne or some other issue, and usualy been told "thats normal for such steep gears" or some other crap.
if gear whinne, its because its NOT installed right. not because its 3.73 or 4.11 or made by someone other then FRPP. If its installed, and spaced correctly, IT WILL NOT WHINNE!
with that being said, I'm still looking for shop I can trust with gear install. Because i have 3.73 just sitting for the past 2 years, that I like to install...

well i do all my own gear installs. Did them for my cars and for a few friends and none have returned to me for whine or any other malfunction, but a few have giving me a hard time during initial install but then corrected the back lash accordingly and they are set

I had my FRPP gears installed in my Mustang "after hours" by a ford tech for $200 cash + gear oil and any other parts. That was my 98GT
Now i have my new stang and installed Motive Gears THROUGH Ford (not after hours work, but the same tech did it). Price was $550 (all said and done)
Get it done by an independent place...NOT a dealership, and dont pay more than $300 labor. But average price is $250 i'd say.

well my dog has a friend who's uncles first wife was married to a guy who knew a guy that was friends with a ford mechanic who did it for 15 cents..
Ok If I read that right you are complaning about 400 bucks INCLUDING THE GEARS?? what do you expect people to install them for free.
I got mine installed for free because I did it myself.

Yes, they are FRPP. So it sounds like I am wrong, and it is a good deal. Well, looks like 4:10s should get installed in two weeks! Thanks guys.
BTW here is a link to the site. They have 4:10s, but they don't carry them regularly.

The price here in Long Island NY seems to be very low, The largest Mustang Tuner/Builder we have in NY has a daily anytime special of $390.00 Parts and Labor. But there's even better pricing than that, for instance I just had my 4.10's installed last Monday for $325.00 Parts and Labor, (FRPP).

there is always going to be somebody that finds a better deal.. in a month you will read in this thread
" I found this shop that PAID me 300 dollars to install some FFRP 4.10's in my car.
400 including gears is a pretty good price I would just go with that.

yeah I had a 94 z28 6 speed.. I registered on this site when I owned it to troll a thread about the LT-1 vs the then new PI 4.6 gt's 7 years later I have a mustang and I am on the sites staff.
