drivtrain questions

I got an 95 auto v6 and about 700 dollars to spend. Im thinking about getting some 4.10's and tlok. Also iv heard about torque converters for autos. Should i get one of those to and a shift kit? thx any help appreciated.

A PI torque converter is around $600. I would instead get the 4.10 gears, tlok and shift kit first it is one of the best mods for the money period!!!!!!

a used PI is about $600. A brand new one will run you about 700 or so plus ~$200 for install. It is an amazing mod, but get some 4.10s with tlock and a 23 tooth speedo gear installed for that money and you'll feel a large difference as well

Where should i buy the gears and tlok. Aslo where do i get the instal kit for the gears?

Get the speedcal not the speedo gear. Its accurate

[tealstangman]

you can't install it correctly yourself. install will be about 200-350 depending.

Gef is has good prices but they are often time out of tloks. When I ordered mine I ended up getting one from West Coast Differential at www.differentials.com because GEF was out They have about the same prices

I will mention one thing is GEF's return policies suck. Paul Greenflash00 ordered a 4.10 ring and pinion set and had it installed and it made a racket. he took it back to the shop and tried for 2 days to get it right. The shop said it was warped. Paul contacted GEF and they told him once itr was installed they would not take it back but they would give him a 10% discount on the next one he bought???? That sucks. He went to Midwest and ordered one and thwe shop installed it with no problems.

Why cant i install it myself?

[tire]

requires a measuring tool costing 150 and you would have no idea what to measure or how. trust us on this, get it installed.

[tealstangman]

I live in Las Vegas, does anyone know of a place here to get them installed? Also how much am i looking to spend?

read.

you'll have to ask around. find a speedshop and ask them. do not go to ford, under any conditions, or any dealership.

[tealstangman]

yeah I'd never take take it too ford. I'll see if my friend can help me out he works at factorx. well thx for all your help. Cant wait to get my gears and tlok.

Would it be a better idea just to go for the 8.8 if im planin on adding a sc? Also does the 8.8 directly swap out with the 7.5 and can i do that myself. but then do i still have to have someone install gears?

[tealstangman]

I want to get the 8.8. Does it come with the gears already installed and can i do this myself??? Will it fit on my v6 without any mods. also where should i buy it?

[Monkey]

some will come with gears already installed. Some will have them taken out to save weight on shipping. If installed, then you can installed the rear end yourself. It will bolt up directly very easily.

www.speedconcepts.net is where you can buy it

[tealstangman]

thx man

[tealstangman]

Does anyone know of a place where 4.10's are already installed in the 8.8?? or would the 3.73 work ok since i have an auto

[Brent]

you want 4.10's trust me. Not sure if anyone sells them with 4.10's already installed.

[Brent]

also realize you are going to need a chip and a speedcal if you get the 8.8 and upgraded gears
