$390 for gears

merc123 · Apr 18, 2005

This sucks, no one in my area BUT the Ford dealership says they can put gears in my GT. Ford says "by the book" it's $390.

What a ripoff. Anyone know of a place in North GA that will do them cheaper?

I don't know where you are in N GA but I am in Ringgold, about 10 mi from TN (Chattanooga) state line. I get all my work done at Sexton's Performance. They specialize in Mustangs and they have done everything on my car. They are putting my 4.10's in this weekend for $225. PM me if you want the their website.

BTW - I don't get anything done at the dealer anymore. They screwed me out of $350 to fix the electric window motor. And I had to take it back 'cause they didn't even put the door cover thingy back on right. And that was the last straw!

Well, I'm only home for a short time on leave before I go to Iraq. I just wanted to enjoy them before I leave. I would have to take it to a shop and stay there for the day. I guess I could sleep in the shop if they need another day

That would be a deal. Around me, four Ford dealers quoted me $500 - $600 for gear install only (no bearing replacement or additional items).

390 including the gears or PLUS the gears? If it includes the gears that is a fair price. If it is PLUS gears...keep looking IMO.

Take care,

390$$$ just for install, DAMN are you getting head too ???

merc123 · Apr 18, 2005

Blue Ridge, GA. It's about 15 mins south of the Tenn. line in the middle of the state.

That's just the install plust lube and seals. They better give me head for that much too.

holy crap, your getting into irs gear install territory. around here they normally install for around $150. but like I said if you wanted and irs job done better have around $500.

My Ford dealer quoted me 5 hours at $85/hour.

And I thought the Ford dealerships were bad!

I just got an e-mail from Modular Powerhouse. They're going to do them for me as soon as I call them to set up a time. They're awesome.
