i can just drop the rear and gears off one day and pick them up the next day if some mechanic wanted to do it for a case of beer or so.....

WERD. Mine were like $450.00. That included gears, installation kit (new bearings, etc) and fluid. The rear end fluid is expensive due to it being synthetic. What ratio are you going with?

I don't think so, no whining in the rear end and I am positive they were set up correctly.

Gears-Richmond 3.73's $159.00

synthetic rear end fluid -$90.00

Installation kit - I think it was like $50.00

labor and tax

tire · 06-25-2003, 03:30 PM

hmm i know i can get it done a lot cheaper than that.

gears are here, going to pick them up now.

**1SLO85** · 06-25-2003, 04:20 PM

Good luck, man.:2thumbup:

JohnS · 06-25-2003, 08:25 PM

Ditto.:2thumbup:

tire · 06-25-2003, 11:44 PM

now i have all the parts and no one to install them.

thanks for the luck, but hopefully i won't need it. i have to post pics of the rear end to make everyone jealous of the deal i got on it.

the girdle is so shiny still.
