Default Converter Install.

I was looking into buying the package deal from tbyrne.com with the vig Verter, tranny cooler, and shift kit for $799. I was just wondering how much this would cost to have installed at a local shop? If anyone has had this done it would be a great help.
Thanks
Bryan

Cost me $410 a repuitable shop with a Trans Go shift kit installed too. I would say $300-400 just for the verter. Do the tranny cooler yourself to save $$ or atleast mount it and run the lines so all they have to do is hook it up.

450$ for my verter install+fluid. you can do the cooler. the package deal doesnt sound bad at all. you can always check the used section. i ot my VIg for a steal, an saved myself some serious cash.

How good does your used verter work. Ive heard that you shouldnt buy used converters, is this true or are used verters fine?
