It costs anywhere from $250-$400.

Almost every shop will tell you something different as far as labor. Between 4-8 hours.

4. What can I expect to pay for a gear upgrade?

A set of gears themselves will cost $150-$250 depending on what brand you purchase. Most shops will charge $250-$400 in labor, and may add more for supplies. Overall, you will spend $400-$700 on a gear change depending on your location. Don’t skip out and go with the cheapest one – be certain that a trained professional is handling your installation!


We charge $400.00, but we also use LS1edit to change your speedo for the new gears in that price. Bob
