Decided not to FEAR the GEAR!

GotMustangs · Dec 7, 2003

And damn, am I glad! Got my 4.10's installed yesterday, and finally got some dry pavement tonight . All I can say is HOLY *****!! This should have been my first mod. It was by far the best mod I have done so far. To all those out there who are debating between 3.73 and 4.10......DON'T FEAR THE GEAR! You will not be disappointed!

FRPP. Got them for $147.40 shipped. I had Summit Racing beat GEF's price and it was only like $8 for shipping instead of $24.

My only regret was not ordering my gears ahead of time and having them installed. It cost me and extra hundred bucks . But I agree. Best mod I have done to date.

Where in wa did you install and how much did it set you back?

I had it done at All Ford Performance in Vancouver. It was like a 130 mile drive, but worth it. Labor was $240, the Track Lok rebuild kit was $75 (which included an extra set of clutches to make the diff tighter), and Amsoil fluid was another $18. Total with everything, including the gears and the Speed Cal (which I installed myself) was $580. Pretty reasonable, I thought.

So, what are your rpms in 5th gear at 70 and 80 mph?

70 mph is just a hair over 2500 rpm, and 80 is right at 3000.

I'd be curious to know what the install ran as well. I got quotes from various shops in Seattle/Everett and they ranged from $400 - $700 LABOR, which I thought was pretty ridiculous. If you found a good shop with better rates I'd like to get in on that! My gears are already done, but if they provide other services it'd be great.

Thanks,

Jay

GotMustangs,

Do you have any pictures of your car? I'd love to see it.

I might have some that I took in the dark, but since I just recently reformatted my hard drive, I don't have the digital cam drivers loaded. Maybe I'll wash her up tonight and post some pictures here. I know I've got some of before the wheels/tires/suspension (it had Eibach Pro-Kit springs on it previously). Here let me see if I can post some of the old ones for now.

Must get 4.10's!!

GotMustangs · Dec 7, 2003

Here's another one. I'll try to get some newer ones later tonight. Kinda busy right now, trying to decorate a Christmas tree with a pair of 2 1/2 year old twins, a dog, and a cat running around. Hopeless.

Houston Performance does Gears, Install, and all Fluids for 399$

4.10's = teh win.

I did have a slight fear of the gear before I got them, but I went with what everyone says to do:

DON'T FEAR THE GEAR!

The only thing I don't like is the fact that I didn't do it sooner.

Thanks. Usually you either love the yellow, or hate it. Some guys tell me it's girly, and the fact that a girl owned it before me and had a license plate on it that said "TWEEDY", doesn't help my case any . But I like it....it turns heads. Nope, the bike isn't mine, it was a friend's . It's, I think, an '01 Suzuki TL1000. With an aftermarket pipe and jetted carbs, he did 9.48 @ like 146 mph in the 1/4 mi. Now that's haulin' ass!

I've only driven it on MOSTLY dry pavement once, and it was really cold outside, wihich doesn't help traction any. I have Nitto 555's front and rear in 275/40-17. Second spins for a good while if I nailed it hard enough, then I get a chirp out of third. I think it'll do alright on the track, though.
