When u buy gears online, do u need any thing else to give the mechanic to install them, cuz 189.00 dollars for gears is mighty cheap. I would hate to order them, and then find out i have to also order a install kit for them or somethin like that. do u guys kno how much of a performance differnce they will make. i have 1994 gt aode conv, i think i got 3.07 or 3.06's stock. thanx alot guys

Go ahead and get the install kit. It comes with a fwe bearings that you do not HAVE to have, but are a good idea to replace since everthing is coming out anyways. You also need a couple of quarts of differential fluid and a thing of friction modifier.

Yeah, what he said. Also, a good thing to do while the mechanic has the rear apart is buy a rebuild kit for the stock traction-lock. I did that to mine when we did my gears. It's just easier to do it all once and not have to worry about. Since I'm sure yours has a few miles on it as did mine. It's the nature of a 10 year old car.

I didnt even think of that Brad. Definitely have the track lock rebuilt while everything is apart because the rebuild kits are less than $50 and the cost of labor should be minimal compared to having to pull it out to rebuild it alter.

I got my gears and the trac-loc rebuild kit from GEF racing (Gene Evans Ford). You just have to ask for it, they don't advertise the kits usually.

Yea, I got mine from Gefracing as well. Although, at that time they did have the kits as well as lube and friction modifier listed on their website.
