1Quik7 Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Might get a 4.77 gear but just curious on how much people usually charge for an install...or if this is a DIY...I've never messed with a tranny before... Any shops you could recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Rear gears do not require the tranny to come out I don't think. I'm not an RX7 expert but I know I did not need the tranny out when I had mine done. I got mine done and installed for $200 some guy did it on the side. I'm not sure if he knows how to do 7's or not. I could ask let me know smile.gif Also I have 410's and if you plan on driving your car on the street 4.77 is hella high and you'll get worse gas mileage and rev higher in the rpm range. Low end will be amazing though [ 21 February 2002: Message edited by: MR. EARS ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 the norm that i have seen is about 200, but you need to have the install kit with it or it will be higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 4.77 gear I would be limited to a 155 top speed...but I think that's a little faster than I usually drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimmy Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 I know a guy in west jeff that installs them for $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimmy Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Depending upon if your old axle bearings and such are worn or not, you may need an install kit to go along with the price of installation. You can buy the installation kit at jegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it should be a problem, my car only has 42k miles on it...and she's been babied smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 You almost must replace the bearings whne doing an gear swap. Let me put it this way mine waso nly 90 for the whole kit. Would you rahter spend a extra 90 now or risk it have it go out and maybe have to buy another set of gears and pay for another install? IMO you SHOULD do it smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
