Default North NJ shop 4.08 gears?

Other than MRC please ;D

Does anyone know of a reputable shop for getting this mod installed? MRC gave me a high quote, almost double from what g35driver guys are getting them installed for...

Thanks in advance

They quoted me $385 to install a Cusco LSD.
Should be the same to do the Gears since they said to do the LSD they would check and shim for gear lash.

I have a 3.3 FD ring and pinion.
I'm saving to have them install it for me in the near future

If you want to get it done even cheaper drop the Differential yourself and bring it to them to get it done.
Ask them and see what they quote you with them doing everything or just the you bringing the differential.

What was the price i gave you, I dont recall even giving you a quote..Please refresh me..
Cause to take the diff in and out is 3 hours labor, opening it and installing the final drive is 2.5 hours, plus shims.thats 5.5 hours labor@$85 per hour if you bought it from us, $95 for outsourced parts.
anyone willing to do it for less, is suspect to say the least.

Please refrhesh me as to what i formally quoted you in my shop?

Ray from P.F. Superdars in MD swapped my rear diff in an hour and a half and that included changing the fluid. We traded rears, he already had his out when I got there, 45 minutes mine was out, 45 minutes more and I was on the road. Cost me $85.00! plus the Motul gear oil.

It was $800 and change, + parts. I remember it was $1200+ at the time I total'd it up. I got it from salesmrc on AIM, you would also need the car for 2 days. I'm not sure if this is in my AIM history at work or not, I'm in Portland, OR for work and won't beback in my office until June 21st or so (to check my aim history).

Then you must have been completely misunderstood.. 5.5 hours labor @$85 per hour is no where near $1200. its $467....perhaps you were including the entire rear Diff in the price?? We dont even carry the gears themselves..
Perhaps you were asking for the LSD also??

Perhaps, sorry for the misunderstanding if that's the case.
