I would say that $250 would be a good price. If you were in Houston, I could hook you up.

Call Jason at TDP(Texas Drivetrain Performance), he's in Haslett out by the Texas Motorspeed Way. I can't post on this board what he charges but it's cheaper than anything you've seen posted so far in this thread. Jason is a GM trained technician and good at it and a hella nice guy. If you need his # PM me.

I paid $250 for the TC install, another $175 for the Transgo & Oil cooler. $425 total.

I went to a small mom & pop shop that I have done business with for over 25 years.
