I'm going to Byron on Saturday, it'll be fun.

I once saw a brand new vette get totaled at Byron because the idiot driving it wouldnt get off the gas when his back end started going out.

tom281

I've seen stuff like that happen too. I've also seen a Vette (older) trailered to the track and taken off by a crew of guys, then line up as the first car of the day..... rev up to who knows how many rpm and then dump the clutch. And then not even move. Broken driveshaft and 25 minute cleanup.

did he get into the golf course?

EDIT: Just realized that "Byron" could be a track.. I thought he was talking about Byron St. by Erskine Golf course in South Bend.

You should come down next wednesday! Merchant is bringing his mustang down. I think strader is bringing his...and a few other guys are coming out.

With your luck make sure someone takes a shovel and a bucket to pick up the pieces

If I go I'll bring the Oil-Dry and paper towels.

I just got a quote of $738 for a 3.73 install... is that about normal or really high?

2k7gtcs

Seems a little high. I paid $300 cash for the labor and he supplied the oil and stuff. I supplied the kit and parts. So I'm thinking it was around $550-600.

Now mine was not from a shop. I ordered parts online, some miscellaneous stuff from the Ford parts dealer, and then paid the chief Ford tech to do the work on the side in his own shop/garage.

ov3n

okay... that price is for labor only... i will check with a couple other places

Lancer

Yeah I would definitely check other places. I was quoted with all the materials provided by me for 300 for the install.

70MACH1OWNER

I agree with the others. If you supply the gears, lube and pinion kit $300-$350 is a fair price. I was quoted that price just last week when I had the torque converter installed. Find a new place or make a road trip!!

ov3n

ok. i will check some other places. checking a ford/roush dealer in elkhart and a friends whos a vw tech.

70MACH1OWNER

VW Tech??...Volkswagon??? You need to talk to my wife's mechanic.

ov3n

Why?
