Got Quoted $800 for gear swap. sound right? I recently stopped into Stropes Speed Shop which is right near my house to see about a rear end gear swap in my stock rear. I went up to a 3200 stall about a year ago, and the stock 2.73 gears in my A4 feel like s**t.
Now before everyone starts jumping on me about Stropes, I only went there because it is so close to me, and I didnt have any idea how much it would be so i wanted to get an idea. I want to go with 3.73s in it.
THey said that i would be looking at:
250 gear set
150 installation kit
100 lube, misc things
200 labor
100 to set pcm for new gears
--------$800 total for a gear swap
This seems high to me but im not positive.
What do you guys think?

That is about $200 HIGH...
200 gears
100 install kit
50 lube, misc
250 labor
50 PCM tweak
That is about the norm for what I do and there is a few extra things thrown in that are not done by other shops... gear set de burr and tooth profiling etc, etc.
