Default Wanted: Reliable shop to install gears

Just wondering if there are any good shop that anyone knows that I can get the gear install for a decent price, and to some work on my car. I'll be moving back to the bay area on Aug. 1st, I cant wait to get involved with the S2Ki out back in the bay!

Thank you in advance.

I can help you swap the pumpkins if you have the gears inside another pumpkin. I don't actually rebuild and install the gears into the pumpkin itself.

you might need to go to a differential shop.


fred: thanks for the referal.

funnier when it breaks or did mean more fun?


450 seems like alot considering you have to remove your diff and reinstall it as well as provide all the necessary hardware
