Hey guys. I did a search on the forum about the 4.77 final drive. I didn't find much solid information on doing an install. I was wondering exactly what goes into the install. I've done one or two final drive installs, problem is they were on 240's. I know some people have said to let a professional installer do the job because of shimming, and backlash measurement. I was hoping some one on here might have done this themselves and could give me an idea on wether it is cost effective to do it myself. Or should I just shell out the finds and have someone else do it. Any info on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

wwww.hardtopguy.com Gears already Installed for $900.

 

The cost of my Kia 4.77's and to have them installed by someone that could do it well was $550.00 for everything. That price was for the gears new and I handed them the center section and said install please and I put it back into the car.
Good luck

i read this in another thread...where did you go to get it installed?

are you in so cali?

 

A local drag race guy who has a shop near me did the install. Its not rocket science and any place that does drive trains should be fine. I am on the east coast.
Labor cost was $300.00.
