Gear Change Shop???

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.

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

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.
