Gear Change Shop???
 

Whats a good and reasonable shop in the Houston area to change r/p on a 04 Mustang?

I've had several installed locally but so far haven't had one installed that didn't make noise. If you find one that does it right let me know.

I had one to lay the ring gear on the dirty floor and pick it up and attempt to install it without cleaning it. Dirt and gears is not a good mix! I have yet to see one use a dial indicator to check backlash.

Heh, you never came to me for your installs then Larry. :)

I know someone who could help you out, ;)

Who? Are they good?

I found a shop here in Houston that charges $425 for parts (Ford 3.73's) and install, but they want another $425 to correct the speedo......

I'll keep you in mind Fred. Where are you? Thanks...

Crosby (just east of Houston)

Spring, but I know nothing about speedo recals.

FWIW, IMO, $425 for gears and install is high, IMO. What do gears run these days?

the 8.8 3.73's run any where from about $130.00 to or about $190.00 depending on where you get them and who makes them

Then yeah, I would say $425 is a rip for gears plus labor, but that's just my opinion.

When I did gears often for money while in school, I would charge $150 labor, and you bring the gears, 2 qts of fluid, and a new rearend cover gasket.

Let's estimate the gearset and fluid runs you $180. You can see how $425 seems like a rip to me, haha.
