how much would a shop charge to install a posi in my car? my guess would be the same price as a gear change minus the cost of parts for the gears. The idiot I bought the car from put 4.10's in, changed the driveshaft.. yet skimped out on a posi, so I can only leave 1 leggers, and if I do dounuts I get a spiral effect.
I just don't want to pay like 500 install plus the cost of a posi for this, so how much would I be looking at?
 
tough to say, buy a used posi and rebuild it and take it to a shop and ask
 
Hi MarkOfDeath and thanks for putting the thread out there BlackMark8Li!

I'm gonna go ahead and do it, the 4.10s,.. did we discuss posi? I think I would want to do that also, along with the driveshaft, of course I want to do it all at the same time too. (sometimes it feels like he is still gettin used to his perf chip).

I know you and Brentallen were shooting out advice to me (greatly appreciated too!). I have read a few articles and was talking with Torquemonkey also, I want to swap the gears to 4.10s, change out the drive shaft, and install posi. I'm going to read more while acquiring all the parts then find a shop who will do it for me (with my stuff, not theirs!) is there anything else I will need to make the conversion complete and successful?

Burnin one strip is lame, but what really made me realize I NEED to swap out the gears and get posi is: I was on a left curve and hit the gas a little, well the rear pasgr tire grabbed and kicked in so tough I nearly went into a spin. He is all balls on r-turns of course but hitting a left curve on ramp or turn he's got me lickin em!!!

This will be my first real mod (wish I could do it myself!!!) so any pearls of wisdom will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks Hotties!!!

I just got a richmond 4.10 gear for christmas and was also wondering how much it would cost. I know a guy that will do it for me for pretty cheap. Like MOD said you should buy a used posi from the junkyard and just buy a rebuild kit. I think a trac-lok rebuild kit runs for about 50 bucks.

Heh heh, she said pearls.
 
OK... yeah... something saving me from being stuck up under my car for 3 days (not too bad if ya have the right company...) or killing someone for doing something jacked up....yeah I'd call that a pearl.... lolol

I have a complete center section setup with Traction Loc, and 4:30 gears that I am putting up for sale after the holidays. I bought this complete setup from a fellow poster, it has only 2,000 miles I was told, selling as I went another direction, also have speedo gear too and axle nut..
