Gear Install

Anybody know of anyone or can recommend any shops that I can contact to do a gear install and T-Lok Rebuild? I want to put FR 3.73's in the car along with getting the FR T-lok Redbuild kit with Carbon Fiber Clutch Plates. I contacted JPC over the weekend for a quote ($1350+) which is quite a bit higher than I was expecting. I can get the parts on my own for a couple hundred cheaper, but the quote for labor was still $700 which is more than I would like to pay. Anybody have any input?

Give JJ a call at Woodbine Motorsports (410)259-8737 and see if it's something he would be interested in doing for ya. Tell him Brian from Autobody Dimensions referred you. I have only heard great things about him and recently used him myself. Doesn't hurt to get a few quotes, that's for sure.

+1 on JJ at Woodbine.

Mike did my gears

bob Thompson does them. it was under $400 when he did mine in my 09 mustang

I had mine done down at Excessive Motorsports in VA. I can't remember the price because there might have been 1 or 2 other things going in at the same time.

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it.

I emailed JJ @ Woodbine and he quoted me $400 for labor so with all the parts I'd be looking at about $800 which is definitely going in the right direction.

RTW, do you have Mike's contact information?
Steven, do you have Bob Thompson's information?
05 RedDevil, I thought about using Excessive because I work down in Alexandria, so it wouldnt be too hard to get to their shop, but I had heard lots of mixed reviews about them, so I wasn't sure if it was worth it or not. I will still probably send them a request for quote though.

give him a call. 443-340-3086. he did the gears in the gt i have now to!

I have had bob do work for me before he does a great job. I also had JJ at woodbine motorsports do my gears and they are dead silent! I was so impressed I had him install and tune my whipple earlier this year. Both are great guys!

I usually do them for around 250-275

I had Bob do my 4.10 gear install. He did a great job and I have no gear whine at all.

+1on Bob T he did my 4'11's in the stock V6 rear, if I hadn't had Bob doing this install, it probably wouldn't have gotten done, we ran into problems that no one seamed to have a clue about, but he made it work.

Oh and for any V6 owners, take it from me, spend a few extra 100 dollars, and upgrade to to an 8.8, when I redo it I will be dumping the 7 inch, I should have done it in the first place {Yes Bob, just like you said LOL}

Thanks guys!

Bob is the only person other then myself that I allow to work on my car. Well atleast for major work

Haha.... james said I'm the only one who can work on his rear.

Once you find the right person its hard to trust anyone else

I'll drink to that! Now if I can only find some beer here at work...

Thanks for all the info guys.

Bob, I will likely be giving you a call in the reasonably near future to discuss things. Thanks for the help in advance!

And if I remember correctly, and I do, Bob said I had cute little rear end

Ed.......There`s something wrong with you. lol

Sorry to bring up an old thread i just joing this forum because im having an issue with my rear that i believe was a faulty gear install from the factory, I was wondering if BobT, are you still doing gear installs??? And if so could i contact you?

I'd highly recommend Iron Mike's Garage. He quoted my 720 for parts and labor for gears and bearings and the like. He's in Rockville. His shop is the one I trust to do work on my car. He is also a mustang owner

ok thanks for the information
