Default Gear install?

Does anyone know how much it would cost to install 4.10's or 3.73s? is this something i can do myself or what? And what are the benefits of new gears? (I have Auto)

thanks,

you are about the 70,000th person to ask this question. use the search button, or better yet, read the official gear thread that i made, took pics of my car with, and included all the information you need to know.

yeah.. it's definately something you don't wanna do yourself unless you do know what you're doing, you have to shim the gears and be very precise or they will whine/wear too quickly

make sure u go to a shop that is very familiar with mustangs. When it come to gear installations..they can become tricky and the tech needs to know what the *** he is doing in teh 1st place. try to find a place that u can trust..somehow....

oh and if u live in eastern massachusetts ...GO TO DEZ racing...they know what teh *** deh dooh.

By the time everything is said and done...expect to have about $800 or more in the swap...BUT...it is the most bang for $800 ou could ever expect!

First of all, get 4.10's With an auto, you don't even want to consider 3.73's.....a good shop will cost about $200-$300 for the install.....(If in the KC area, I had mine done for $200)...another $200 for gears, $350 for a tuner, $50 for lube, gaskets, misc crap....
