Default 4.44 gear swap

Several of you have done this. Need help on finding a good installer for the 4.44 gear swap in Southern California...anywhere between LA and San Diego would work.

Any recommendations? (PM is okay).

I would talk to Vapors2k. I know he has swapped his gears out both for 4.44 and then 4.77 and his installer has done a few other s2k's I belive.

I got mine done through the same guy as Ardy. Did an excellent job. Contact VaporS2K for contact info.

my friend that works at Autolink in Temple City has done the gear swap for the s2000 now.

his name is Chris Chao and the stores number is 626-279-7122. he also recommends that if you get the Ricks gears to get the oem install kit. it helps make the install quicker and smoother.

I would have Ardy's mechanic do it. Ardy's sn is Vapors2k. I just had my 4.44 gears and yellow box installed by them and they did a very good job. Only took them about one day for install.

thanks mike for the props, if you guys need the gears installed, my mechanic has done a few of them, I help him from time to time if he needs it since I've removed and reinstalled the diff about 8 times. Just PM me for more info.
