Talked to my boss and he said would help me install the gears in the Mustang next month. He's a 15+ year tech with Ford now service writer. He's installed a few gear sets in his day. And since it's a Mustang he don't mind helping.

Just need to get my rebuild kit for my limited slip and I'll have all the parts.

Well I haven't updated this thread in awhile. Car has been in storage the last couple months. The 4.10 gears have just over 800 miles on them. Going to change out the rear end fluid in the spring. Will also install this at the same time.

Spring project (when it get much warmer out) will be to overhaul the rear suspension. New control arms, rear shocks, and new pads and rotors.
