i just called a shop here in Franklin, TN to see about having a set of 4.10's installed in my 98 SS.....they said they have never done a camaro f-body, then quoted me at 570 bucks, and that's if i supplied the gears!!!
how much did you guys pay?.......does anyone know of a shop that would do a good job here in middle TN?

I was quoted by a local shop here around $125 if I supplied my gears and locker. $570 is ridiculous.

I'm a gear installer locally to where I live. Every customer is different in what they need but labor rates vary from $200 to $300 here with other shops. Labor for gear installs is going to be a little higher due to the attention to detail needed.

that's what i was thinking....i had read that there was a little bit of tedious work involved, some special measuring tools needed, etc......i'm glad to hear it usually doesn't cost as much as they said.....now if i could just find someone here in middle tn to throw them in

Your research is correct. Backlash, Pinion Depth and preload in a few different places need to be measured accurately. This requires some special experience. Only an experienced installer can get it right in enough time to actually make money on the job instead of losing money.

I wouldn't pay more than $400, especially if you're supplying the gears and install kit.

That's super lame, I'm in STL too and looking to get some gears in soon. Where are going to get your quotes? I'm thinking about asking around at random tranny shops.

$90 for my gear swap but he's a friend with a shop so I guess he gave me a good price! Anything over $300 is completely ridiculous IMO! Speed shops around here charge about $250-$300.

I paid $250 about 8 years ago. Had them done again about 3 years ago and it was $300.

They quoted you way too much. I am from Tennessee and have not needed this done, but can tell you that you need to find another shop! I wish I had a recommendation for you. I will ask some friends if they have any recommendations. Good luck!
