Anybody have their trac-loc rebuilt by a shop and if so how much did the labor cost. I know the kit costs like 50 bucks. I want to compare the price a shop gave me of $150 including the install kit.

i got raped for over 500!

the whole rear had to come apart in my case..my spider gears were chipped..
and the shim kits to redo it..the clutch packs for the trac lock..
then all the new bearings while its open...the races..the gaskets..crush sleeve.
labor...oil....friction additive for the oil...
since the axles come out...new rear bearings..why not? and seals while your there...cause the old ones were bent removing em..
and pray your brake sensors dont crack apart when they try to get it apart/off

and the end result will be....both tires will burn rubber....you may get some wizzing if the gears arent shimmed right and the backlash isnt set and reset and then reset again......and youll be poorer like me......

hope u canjust slap it in there..but i dont think so..be prepared for a reaming/or beware!

BTW THATS AN EXCELL DEAL!!

I'm not talking about a gear install. The labor for that is a seperate $300. Just the trac-loc rebuild is $150. The total I got for gears, rear end rebuild, and a trac-loc rebuild was $740.

Either way sounds like a pretty good deal.

i think the labor should include the trac loc rebuild..its not verry detailed to change the clutches and set it back up.
...my opinion..
also the complete rebuild kit is 150 which includes everyting u need.if you order the whole rear kit/gears
its cheaper...
i went thru all this after i got raped...i know for about 150 the complete rear kit is available...it has everything except the core of the trac loc.
make sure they use the additive,and you have to rechange the fluid after 500 miles.

I paid about $700 for the same stuff and it was done by a very reputable mechanic. Just knowing that it was being done right the first time was very nice. I couldn't be happier.

I think you've got a good price to go with. Just make sure the shop is reputable, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Click to expand...

Why would I buy this for close to $200 more after shipping and then still have to install it myself?

Because everythng will be new, bearings, seals, etc. This was not part of your package....

It also means I am sure you can find a better price for teh same thing closer to you... Mustangs unlimted is not overly cheap but thier website is pretty easy to browse for parts.

They won't be knew but he is completely rebuilding the rear end included in the labor. So the bearings and seals will be new.
