Unless you are rather mechanically inclined, I wouldnt even attempt a gear install. If the pinion doesnt get shimmed correctly on the reassembly then your gears will be have a permanent whine to them. There should be places that will do them for around 300 or maybe less, and as far as parts just get you a install kit from gef racing. I think they run about $30. If you have a few extra $$$ then it would also be a good time to freshen up the differential as well.

well ive done clutch installd and head swaps and stuff like that just little stuff here and there but ive never massed with anything like a rear end before but i didnt know that it was going to be this exspensive just for some bearings

That's way too much. I do gear and install for $450 with NEW gears and install kit. That place is trying to rip you a new one.

I am in anniston the area and do gear installs. $225 labor...

ujslost · 03-23-2007, 10:12 PM

$225 just for labor LEE? Not including friction modifier and dope, and gear set? If so I might come see you. I been thinkin about buying a dial indicator and doing a gear install, i got a lift at work so its no problem. Just never used a dial indicator for a gear install before.

that is correct. (does not include any fluids) I have done so many, I don't use an indicator anymore. All by feel

ujslost · 03-24-2007, 11:54 AM

Ive done 2 before, one like you said with feel. 2nd i took out of a stock rear end and just put in another so i measured the treads sticking past the pinion nut with a caliper and just reset it to that depth when i reinstalled.
I have another question. Im gonna get 4.10s and i noticed some cheap motive gears on ebay. but ive heard that motive gears wine no matter what.
that true?????

SvoBrown · 03-24-2007, 12:22 PM

After my last gear change I almost gave up the job. Some are simple and others are just fighting you all the way. I have to give Lee some thanks on the keep on till it gives up.
$225, not a bad price knowing it is right.

I prefer to install FRPP gears. 95% (30-40 jobs) of my installs have been with FRPP's. I have used some motive gears with no problems though
