Price on gear installation
- Thread starter Mydirtytruck
- Start date
WTF are you talking about?129saleen said:
Typically a shop will charge about 4-5 hours labor, and whatever the shop labor rate is.
Sometimes I hear of deals around $150 for installation, but realistically, you're looking at $250 plus.

Dont forget you need an install kit, that is another 150
Its been a LONG while but if I remember what I think I do...
Labor $175
Gears $190 roughly
Install kit ?
Axle seals ?
Axle bearings ?
Speeo gear ?
Trac Lock rebuild kit ?
Plus some new brake shoes for the rear.
All in all it was in the high $500 range I think, plus my car needed the new seals, bearings as its just an old Fox. The guy that did my gears gave me a lower price than anyone else around, plus I knew him and of his work by word or mouth.

As i said $60 and took 15 minutes.... Not including the price of the gears..
If you want to tell me otherwise how much I spent go right ahead..
I know the owner of the shop and he gave me a DEAL ever heard of that????

oke:
He asked what he can expect to pay, not what your buddy gave you for a deal on your gears. And it only took 15 minutes to remove, and reinstall a gear set, in a car? Wow, that man is ****ing amazing, and is probably a miracle worker...129saleen said:
*i take it back, he did ask what we all paid, but you know damn well that no reputable shop is going to charge only 60 bucks to do it.*
4-5 hours, at 50-60 bucks an hour, is what most shops charge. Call around.
500 bucks, with all parts is a good price.
I would say 600 worst case.
Figure the master install kit comes with all bearings and seals needed, gears, labor, fluids.

i think around 500 sounds right. The gear+rebuild kit+fluids+labor.
The local Ford dealership wants $600......and thats just labor
I would never take my rig to the dealer for something like gears. Call around at some of the smaller shops, or possibly an offroad shop in town.Mydirtytruck said:
i paid 150 for a set of used gears and install... lol that was a hook up...
but ud probably expect to pay around 200/250 for just install... 500 bucks sounds about right for everything. Just make sure you change out the bearings and seals with fresh fluid and u should be good to go. gears are a pain in the ass to do. so to whoever said 15 minutes for the install is flippin crazy. there is no possible way to do it in that amount of time. you sir are a douchebag

You shouldnt pay more then $250 for LABOR.

So you paid 150 for the gears and install???? I guess since every other person didnt pay that much then your lying..
And there is a way to do it in 15 mins, the same way mine were installed its that simple...
Its not hard at all to have the car on a lift, take shit out, change the gears, gaskets and and every other dam thing u have to do and put them back in and put fluid in...
I didnt say it wasnt a pain in the ass but If I said I did it in 15 mins then I fu ckin did it in 15 mins so U THASALVOO can suck a big fat *ick
so, in fifteen minutes, you can put the car on the lift, crack open the diff. Drain the fluid, pull the driveline, pull the rear tires, brakes, both axle shafts, pull the diff out, pull the yoke off, pull the pinion, replace the yoke and new pinion, with bearings installed, pull the old ring gear off the diff, install the new ring gear, install new bearings, put the diff in, get the gears set up properly, re-install both shafts(with new bearings), the brakes, diff cover, fluids, driveline, and put it back on the ground, with the tires.... ALL IN FIFTEEN ****ING MINUTES? You are a moron, and need to go the fawk away.
my favorite part is how you don't even have a ****ing clue what your are talking about.. take the shit out, and change the gears? WOW!!!!

First off... Slow down and try some grammar. Second, no... it can't be done. there isn't room for 4 people where MOST of the work is being done. You're a liar, a noob, and you need to go away. Stop making as ass out of yourself. I personally have never paid a dime to have gears installed, that goes with having a father who is a master tech, and taught me things from an early age. So, i haven't been ripped off. $500 parts and labor is very fair price, call around and ask any shop. Do me a favor, and learn some english, learn to type, and not post like a 13 year old girl.
