Is this right? Gear install

mikevm78 · February 4th, 2008, 08:40 PM

I got a quote of 7 hours to install gears in my 00 gt, myself providing the gears. Is that about right? thanks for any input guys! MM

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 08:45 PM

7 hours is a long time to put gears in. my guy did it in less than 3 and we were BS'in the whole time.

HMUSN · February 4th, 2008, 08:45 PM

sure.. if your 12th in line.

it takes about 2-3 hours tops to do.

mikevm78 · February 4th, 2008, 08:48 PM

So basically this place is trying to screw me? Oh thats just great!

HMUSN · February 4th, 2008, 08:48 PM

well now you know at least.

TheUNZippee! · February 4th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Time to look for a different place.

mikevm78 · February 4th, 2008, 08:51 PM

True, thanks for the TRUTH.

they charge 80/hour x 7 ==$560 and they said thats not including lube and gaskets. Gues i will find a local gear head who wants to make some cash working in my warm garage. Appreciate the help guys !! MM

yeah... 2 shops tried to pull that bs on me. One quoted me at 525 and another for 600!!! the best around here is 400... so thats where i'm doin it.

mattstang · February 4th, 2008, 09:08 PM

im getting mine put in.... itll be about 150.

if i remember right thats what the dealer backcharged my warranty about 7 hours. but it was a rebuild too. new seals and bearings throught.

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 09:09 PM

i paid $200 to have it done.
