Yes!! I just put 3.55s in mine and my biggest problem is keeping my foot out of it.
It cost me about a $1000 with parts and labour but, everything costs more here in Canada.Best upgrade I have done.
WTF!!!!! It should'nt cost more then 700 and that's even getting it installed by ford!! It costs me 150 for install and 160 for gears and then 90 for install kit with bearing
Although, my pony is a 2007 and not a 2012, l absolutely love the difference! I had 3.31 in originally and because either my Carrier and Pinion bearing was going out, l had to purchased a Motive Installation bearing kit and then upgraded to 3.73 gears. I just had them installed this past Friday! I couldn't be any happier. My car was sluggish when accelerating. NOT ANY MORE. It's quicker off the line. I used to say, "Let's Go!" Now I Say, "Let's Went!".
I can tell you that l now am using my 5th gear on the freeway a lot more.
Yes they are!!! We can buy the parts from the US,but by the time we pay duty and shipping on them we are paying 30% more.I'm in Ontario and factor in another 15% combined Fed and Provincial tax.I wouldn't even think about my Ford dealer, labour work is way to costly.
$500 plus tax at Steeda. thats gears, install kit, new bearings and labor.... installed and everything. Plus you can rest easy knowing your baby is being taken care of by some of the best. If your in FL thats the best price installed that I was able to find.
Is this for all mustangs? Or just Auto Trans or just Manual trans?
Because, I was told all I had to do after the install, was to plug in
my Sfx3 Tuner... Dang I knew if I didn't write it down I forget! But it was something, well forget that part, but the last thing, I was to scroll down until I saw rear Axle and then something about input, oh! I remember I was to click on Axle Ratio and then in put 3.73 and press accept or enter.
Speed sensors still have gears on them in some vehicles. Most people just get a tuner and retune the computer for the new gears. You can also adjust for tire sizes that way.
Jba speedshop in San Diego installed my 3.73. I ended up dropping $775 otd. That included everything (Gear, bearing, fluid, labor, speedometer calibration). They've replaced many 2.73 gears... that is why I got their business. No issues and enjoying the way the car gets off the line now.
very stupid question .... what does it change when u change from what the stock is to a 3.55 or a 3.73 ? like what does it do to the feel and drive of the car ..?
It increases your acceleration in lower gears, so if youre going up in gear ratio, youll have to shift sooner because youll be in higher RPMs faster, but your top speed is reduced and youll feel that a little in your top gear, at least until you max out your torque/hp and then it really becomes a theoretical top speed. Basically youll have to shift kinda fast in lower gears but youll have quicker acceleration.
vancouver......far far away from Brampton...but I grew up in the GTA. Sooooo. if i read all of this correctly.....I can change the speedo gears but i don't have to because it can be adjusted via a tuner??
Top speed reduced to what 145 instead of 160? I mean how much top speed are we talking about? How much could one cut off top speed going from 2.73 gears to 3:55 gears?
1st to 2nd: 0-27mph (slight fear of blowing my motor) l'm a girl
2nd to 3rd: 27-45mph
3rd to 4th: 60ish
4th to 5th: l rarely used 5th unless l could drive min. 75 or more, so l drove in 4th 90% of the time.
Now I have to shift a lot sooner! I have some things l have to do today. l'll give update at my maxed out speed with my 3.73 gears. Hope l don't blow it!
