I just had my broken Motive 3:73's replaced with Strange Pro Stock 3:73's. The gears were $200.00, the labor was $175.00 and misc parts(seals,shims,gasket,gear lube)were about $100.00. So that's $475.00 total.

Hey Elite, Where did you have your gears done? I'm in Dallas, and was looking for a good place. Have you had any probs with the set up?

John,

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question but I just saw it. I had my gears done by Scott Walters, he works out of Kennedale drag strip. I HIGHLY recommend Scott, he does GREAT work, very reasonably priced and he's a great guy. Give him a call, you won't regret it. His number is 817 563-5371.
