swap gears 2000 gt

[stick shift]

Just bought a 2000 GT auto trans. It is all stock except for 4.88 gears??. Anybody interested in a rear end swap in so cal ?. I am willing to drive 100 miles from my home in Chino Hills CA to swap for your 3.08-3.27-3.55s. My rear in has the trick diff cover that will go with it. I am 71 years old and did not know it had 4.88 gears on a local neighborhood test drive.
Post if you are interested.

Consider that the odds of getting a noisy rear end installation increase when the ring and pinion have already worn to each other and then are moved to a different set up. Note, it may be perfectly fine reusing a ring and pinon from another rear end just bear in mind this does increase the odds of getting a noisy job.

Consider that a new ring and pinion is not all that expensive. Here's an example that only $166. Add a full rebuild kit for $100 and this will give you a ZERO mile rear end with new gears. Sell the old ring and pinion after the swap out has been done.

An option is to search car-part.com for a used Ford 8.8 from a local salvage yard. The replacement does not have to come from a Mustang as the ring and pinion gears are interchangeable. Just have to double check the gear ratio tag. It will be necessary to disassemble to get the parts out.

I am talking about a complete rear end swap, not a gear swap. If both cars are the same it is a easey job. Done it before.

I have a 1999 Gt stock reared that I had redone 3 months ago. I live in Los Alamitos not far from you. Let me know I’m ready when you are.
