best local place for gears

I have always received good customer service and quality work from Jerry and Corey Clayton at Clayton Racing in Elburn, IL (630-365-6737).
Jerry has performed the rear differential work to my cars, which he is meticulous with the measurements/fit n finish. I have not experienced gear whine, leaking differential, or other issues.

Thats what I'm talking about... $250-300
$600 is just a rip off. I'd try them myself before I'd pay that.

correct. The problem is that it isn't "a mustang" the job could be exactly the same, but once they see a higher dollar car they try to stick me. The problem is I can't ask my buddy who has a panoz what it cost him
. I have to use all you guys to find out what stuff should cost.Thanks again all

thats what i got quoted can't remember from who but this was with parts which i forgot to add.
$200-$300 for a gear install only applies to solid rear axle mustangs where you don't have to yank the whole differential case from the car to install a set of gears.
Cobras require much more work than gt's to get the case out, do the gear swap, and re install.
Also the panoz has extra crossmembers and bracing in the back, as well as a horizontally opposed, pushrod-and-rocker activated coil-over shock setup which will make pulling the spindles to get the axles out, a big pain.
It's not "Just Like A Cobra" back there.
Probably an extra 2-3 hours total of labor involved in getting the rear differentail out and back into the car.

I asked when I was at the factory.
They didn't want to get into detail on how they mod the IRS other than "it has Cobra R bushings and stuff." Sure is hard understanding those Scotts sometimes, he had to keep wiping the druel from his mouth as he spoke during the tour.
most of them are irish (hence the clover as a symbol). It is a red white and blue clover to represent the US.
Anyhow, yeah I have to get most of my info from Joey Mcbride the head mechanic. Him and his assistant joey know everything! The did just change much of the suspention in the last 2 years also fyi.
When you were at the factory was Don Panoz restoring all those MG's at the time? When I was there this summer he had a bunch of cool ones.
I also had Johan of JRD tuning do some work for me. He has done some SICK rides!
