seems like a lot to me.... I think the average rate at an independant would be about $85/hr....... so....... you think it should take over 7 hours to swap a trans? I would call a dealer and ask them what the "flat rate" hours are for a CP trans replacement and multiply that by your average local shop rate.

What type of vehicle are we talking about here? $600 in an AWD truck would be a good price in my eyes. Now in an F-body it is a little high. Then again some shops do not like installing customer supplied parts so that might have something to do with it. It's like going out to dinner and supplying the chef with your steak. I would charge you extra to cook it.

Price on the rnr sounds high for your car but getting back to what I said earlier about installing customer supplied parts I see their point. For $2500 installed I would get a list of what they are going to do and compare it to what others offer to see if you are getting your monies worth. Vince
