I never have had gears installed, and don't have the slightest idea how to do it myself. $700 seemed kinda high. Is this the going rate? Or anyone know of a better price in Jersey?

where at in jersey?? I know one guy on here payed way too much for dyno tuning at JDM and some of the guys at JDM were not very nice to me when i needed some questions answered. I got a guy around the corner from me, supposibly the #1 Mustang guy in NJ, maybe he'll be more than happy to do your gears.

He is doing my pulleys sometime this week..... only charning me $65. Thats his going rate an hr. But this guy knows Mustangs!

 

I'm from East Brunswick. Exit 9 off the turnpike. About 5 mins from Raceway Park.

 

That's what I paid for gears and install in Los Angeles.

Quite typical here unless you know Bubba at the shop.

 

i paid 400 for gears and install at HPP in dallas tx.... i have FRPP gears and not a single hint of gear whine... do not pay more than 500

 

Get another quote... It should run ya around 400-500 smackaroos.

 

$600 here in Mid-Michigan... by probably the most respected shop in the state...

 

$490 for parts, labor and tax. I got FRPP gears also which are a bit more pricey. Zero whine. I got mine done at J.A.K. Automotive in Austin, Tx.

 

$350 for labor, $190 for gears, $100 for install kit if needed, $30 misc. stuff, for a total of $670 here in Maryland (just outside of D.C.).

$600-$700 seems to be the going rate around here.

 

They are trying to rip you for sure. Go somewhere else or take a vacation trip to Texas. I paid 150 for the install in the St Louis area.

 

I'm going to check out the Ford dealer across the street from my work and ask

 

Thanks all. I didn't think $700 sounded right. I'd rather spend an extra few $ and get NO2 for that price.

 

There is a guy in Brick that owns Wicked Motorsports he does gears for a flat $300 plus fluids and bearings he quoted me like no more then $400 for the complete install. Message me if you want his contact information

 

I just went to the Ford dealer across the street and the guy at the parts counter said they only do warranty work and wouldn't do a mod like that because it would "void your warranty"

 

Go to a ford performance dealer. There are certain dealerships, that deal with performance models, and parts, saleen, roush etc. I am sure they would put on a set of frpp gears for you with out an issue. some people just have there head up u know what too far. Good luck

 

I'll bet they don't know how. Lets set the record straight then let it rest.
NOTE. Ford Racing parts installed by a dealer carry the same warranty as the rest of the car and the do not void anything. Per Ford Motor, CO. I would have the dealer I purchased the parts install them because they have to know what they are doing in the first place to be FMC racing parts dealer. However I did not because of the cost and I had the gears months before the car arrived. You do not need a new bearing unless the installer screws up the old one taking it off and if he does a lot of installs he also has loads of left over shims.
I would definitely shop prices from reputable shops. Mine was 150 but it was a slow time at this shop.

 

Its a king size rip too. Get out the KY if you know what I mean.

 

Yup, Manny quoted me the same price, just been out of town for a month so obviously I have not gotten it done yet.

 

Has anyone in SoCal had gears installed? If so, how much did it run you?

 

Good price if they are ford racing gears and there are no xtras. Do it!
